"Eveline" reflects the plight of the Irish at the turn of the century (19th-20th), forced to choose between emigrating in search of a better life (with all the risks and anguish implied by such an act) or stay in Ireland, a country "paralyzed" under British colonialism and marred by political and religious conflicts, and economical poverty.
