In "The Sisters," through a child's ignorant perception of the old priest's death, a corner of the restriction of the religious on people's spiritual world is revealed. The old priest's entire life was filled with religious rituals and dogmas, and he finally passed away in loneliness and confusion. His fate implies the spiritual dispiritedness and the imprisonment of the souls of the Dubliners under the shadow of religion. Religion should have been a sustenance for the soul, but here it has become a shackle that restricts people's thoughts and freedom. People blindly follow it and gradually lose themselves in it.
