Abstract

This paper deals with the possibility that the story A Painful Case may present deep thematic and structural connections with Joyce’s later work,
and with his entire oeuvre. Beyond the fact that one or more of its  characters reappear in Ulysses, these themes and connections, sometimes represented by a name, an idea or a tune can contribute to a pervasive reading of Joyce’s work.

Keywords: James Joyce; Dubliners; Close Reading.
