Mapping: Dubliners

The aim of this project is to map three of the stories from James Joyce's ''Dubliners'' --Araby, Clay, and Eveline-- in order to make observations about what the mapping process adds or takes away to each story. I chose these three stories because they share a similar theme of desiring love and of self growth through a failure to find the love the protagonists of these stories seek. For the mapping process I used google maps and tried to make a point of every location mentioned in the stories to the best of my ability. Unfortunately, because some of the settings described in the three stories are unnamed, they are not depicted on the maps. Additionally, the protagonist of these stories also traveled by tram which is not a mode of transportation supported by google maps. As an alternative, I used the train system of Dublin to the best of my abilities to compensate for this. Though the mapping process of these stories was often very tedious and challenging, the three maps allows an individual to draw conclusions from the stories that may otherwise go unnoticed.
