Representation of Power-Based Gender Domination inJoyce’s Narrative “Eveline”: An Investigative Analysis ofCritical Discourse

Abstract

This abstract focuses on James Joyce's narrative "Eveline" and explores the theme of paternalistic power abuse through the character of a young marginalized nineteen-year-old girl. The study delves into the contrasting elements of Dublin, where individuals either pursue their dreams or sacrifice them for their families. The analysis centers on the portrayal of a father's authority in the text. Employing Fairclough's (1989) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, this research combines qualitative and quantitative methods within the framework of Fairclough's three-dimensional Model. The article serves as a valuable res urce for researchers and scholars, providing guidance on text (discourse) analysis.
