How can you compare and contrast 2 characters in the Dubliners?

Answer 1

Try Little Chandles and Gallaher in "A Little Cloud". Points of contrast: Little Chandler didn't have the courage to emigrate from Ireland - he now feels trapped in his marriage, his dreams of becoming a poet forever crashed. Gallaher is a successful journalist in London who boasts about having seen "much of the civlized world".

Points of similarity: both are spiritually dead, shallow in their aspirations and preoccupations, unable to achieve their dreams, caught in a general paralysis of mind and body.

Answer 2

You can compare and contrast characters in "Dubliners" by analyzing their traits, motivations, actions, and relationships with others. Look for similarities and differences in their personalities, backgrounds, and roles within the stories. Consider how their behaviors influence the plot and themes of the collection.
