Abstract
James Joyce is esteemed as one of the greatest writers in British literature of the 20th century. He invented the word games and boosted that his work could keep scholars busy for generations. He created a new art form and laid the foundation for the development of British modern literature.
Dubliners is the first representative work of James Joyce. The author, through fifteen short stories, presented the lower people’s life in Dublin and revealed the paralysis of Dublin society through epiphany achieved in their experiences.
This thesis focuses on the youth images in Dubliners. Combined with the Bildungsroman theory, the thesis presents the difficulties young characters confronted in growing up from the perspective of typical characteristics in Bildungsroman, and further explores the connections between the difficulties and the main themes of Dubliners.
The thesis divides the short stories of childhood and adolescence in Dubliners into three parts and discusses young characters’ difficulties in their growing process from three aspects: chasing hope, escape and facing love. It finally reaches the conclusion that the difficulties are very essential for the book in revealing the spiritual paralysis spreading from children and adolescents to the whole society in Dublin- the center of paralysis.
