        The use of epiphany
        
        Joyce thought that the function of symbolism was to take the reader beyond the usual aspects of life through the analysis of the particular.
        
        This technique was called epiphany "the sudden spiritual manifestation" caused by external object which reveals the character's inner truths.
        
        So at these revelatory moments the reader's attentions focuses on the real meaning of the narrative.
        
        Paralysis
        
        The paralysis which Joyce wante to portray is both physical from external forces, and moral linked to religion, political and culture.
        
        Joyce's Dubliners accept their condition, because they are not aware of it or because they lack the courage.
        
        The moral centre of Dubliners is not paralysis alone but its revelation to its victims.
