Eveline

Eveline’s conflict with reality and illusion is in the way of her thinking her life with Frank will be better. She is stuck between staying with her abusive father at home or going to Buenos Aires with Frank. Her father does not care for and bickers with Frank quite often.

As the story progresses we find Eveline reminiscing of her mother who passed away years before. She remembers the promise she made to her to dedicate herself to maintain the house when she was gone. Her mother lived an uneventful and sad life which embraces her decision to leave with Frank.

Throughout the story we think that Eveline is maturing but in reality she really doesn’t. We find her holding onto the past when facing with the future.
