In the short story “Eveline” by James Joye the main character Eveline to me portrays the type of person who wants to live her life. She has made a promise to her late mother to keep to take care of the family. She has to choose between love or the responsibility of her family. With her being an Irish-catholic making her decision would be hard. Eveline sometimes does not always see the best in things but will find out what is more important, love or family.

Eveline wanted to back out of that promise when things began to get boring for her. She was sick of working for her money and having to give it to her father who sometimes would not even give her some of her earned money for food for the family. She did not want to live the rest of her life this way. She had the choice to explore another life with Frank. According to her “Frank was very kind, manly, open-hearted.(5)” Frank was a sailor and wanted Eveline to come and sail with him and be his wife. She was very much in love with him and wanted to move on with her life with him but there was always that promise that she had made to her mother in the back of her mind.
