Epiphany

The idea
The glossary defines epiphany as a change, sudden insight or awareness revealed to the main character. Unit eleven took it. Joyce's stories are built on the device, and an exam question may ask where in a passage the realisation falls.
In practice
A sudden insight, to the character.
Where people slip
Unit eleven defined it.
