COUNTERPARTS
The story is developed in the streets of Dublin and
it is a critique of Dubliner society of that time.
The author put the characters in different
situations in order to show their moral
characteristics.
These situations exposed many forms of human
disturbances including: frustration, self-
identification, human unfullfillment and the
struggle between the classes.
The story’s main character is the typical Dubliner
with a useless job and a strong need for a drink at
the local bar.
In the story, it seems that there is a definite order
of social classes, and higher classes try to make
lower classes life worse than they already are.
It can be said that Joyce is trying to make the
reader understand that Dublin is a horrible place
and its inhabitants are overshadowed by its
terrible existence.
MAIN CHARACTERS Farrington: an alcoholic man. He hates his job,
but doesn’t want to lose it . In the story, he spends a huge amount of money in drinking. He also hates his life and the routine he lives in.
Mr. Alleyne: Farrington's demanding boss. He is an old man, and he is always making Farrington's life more miserable.
Weathers: a drinking buddy of Farrington's. He is a young man, but he beats Farrington in arm wrestling.
Tom: One of Farrington's young sons. He is attentive to his drunken father's needs when he got home, but in spite of the boy's filial piety, Farrington beats him with no mercy.
