By As I reflected upon the "The Dead" I pondered the manner in which James Joyce implemented "wasteland imagery" in the story.

In the short story‚ ‘The Dead’‚ James Joyce illustrates the character Gabriel by masterfully using poetic devices such as imagery and tone. However‚ the reader slowly discovers that they’re not the only ones finding out the truth about Gabriel’s personality‚ as Gabriel himself is unearthing who he really is. Imagery‚ one of the best devices in James Joyce’s toolbelt‚ is used beautifully to give hints to the reader of the thoughts that run through Gabriel’s head consistently. A good example of this
