Joyce's Eveline at the Window
Captions available
The idea
Eveline opens that she sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue, her head leaned against the curtains, and in her nostrils the odour of dusty cretonne. Third person throughout, and yet the reader is inside her nose.
In practice
Third person, inside her senses.
Where people slip
The pronoun and the vantage disagree.
