都柏林人读后感

The contents of the different titles in Dubliners seem to be summed up by the title of the positive second novel, An Encounter: Arabi, a night trip to the grocery market; Two Rough Guys, a night tour through the streets of Dublin; The Dead, before and after a party... The characters in Dubliners are diverse, including a boy who plays truant, an old maid who has died, a young girl with spring thoughts, a deceitful vagabonds, etc., who walk through the city of Dublin, thankful for the trivial things, and at the same time, feel lonely, restless or desperate. Set in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, the story highlights a common theme, the callous, lifeless state of mind that pervaded Irish society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The misfortune of life is that people can only live according to rigid, fixed routines, lack the courage to break free from the shackles of routine, do not have the determination to fight for good ideals: from childhood, adolescence, adulthood and into social activity, Dubliners are paralyzed psychologically and physically. This "paralysis" also exists in our present life. The paralysis of the body is not terrible, the most terrible is the paralysis of the spirit, emotional paralysis. Pointing out this paralysis is the first step in arousing the national spirit. As a result, Joyce wrote in a letter to his publisher, "I am convinced that after writing this chapter of moral history as I have written it, I have taken the first step towards the spiritual liberation of our country." For us, in the face of the "paralysis" that appears in our body, the most important thing is to have the courage to fight for the good ideals in our hearts.
