"Exiles" is his only play, which he wrote in the midst of composing "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and "Ulysses." Joyce noted Henrik Ibsen and his last play "When We Dead Awaken" as major influences. He described the play itself as "three cat and mouse acts," a story that chronicles a group of people trying to come to grips with reconciling idealistic principles with their own passions.

"Eveline" is a short story from James Joyce's classic Dubliners. Nineteen-year-old Eveline has decided to leave home, but her future journey may not be all that she hopes. Like other stories in Dubliners, "Eveline" offers a penetrating analysis of Dublin society, especially its stagnation and paralysis. Each story incorporates epiphanies, by which Joyce meant to convey a sudden consciousness of the "soul" of a thing.
