This essay examines the principal textual and stylistic changes found within the many revisions of Joyce’s “The Sisters” and the way these revisions relate to Joyce’s developing concept of Dubliners as a whole. Its analysis takes as its central focus “The Sisters” as published in The Irish Homestead on 13 August 1904; an intermediate manuscript version most likely written in 1905; an enlarged manuscript version of the destroyed Maunsel edition of 1912; the story as published by Grant Richards in 1914; and, finally, the 1969 authoritative text. This study aims, first, to reassess the original Irish Homestead version, second, to determine what changes were designed to make “The Sisters” act as an introduction to Dubliners through a presentation of the book’s main themes, levels of meaning, and images, and, third, to see what light these revisions throw on the vexed question of meaning in “The Sisters,” especially the degree to which the characters should be regarded as typal or symbolic.

Collection of short stories of James Joyce in a book under the title of "Dubliners" (1914) is a collection composing of 15 short stories, which topic of all of them is living in Dublin (stories about death, love, live in school, etc.). Short story of "sisters" narrates feelings of a boy about death of a priest. The first woman, who is afraid of love, a mother in law speaks about ambition and destroys her daughter. It ispainful narrative of a single man, who leaves the woman he loves and the woman finds in the time of her death that he has been in his loneliness all his life. Accordingly, it could be mentioned that the author has selected in his short stories a style that Flober has been its establisher. Hence, stories in the collection of Dubliners have been strongly image-based and have been less relied on storied actions. (Stein et al, 2008) The present study has analyzed two short stories of the mentioned collection under the titles of "The Dead Persons" and "The sisters\s". In this analysis, the author has considered internal modes and feelings of characters of the story. Process of analyzing the two works has been firstly related to analysis of every story separately and then has been related to goals and destinies of creator of the work and totally his collection of short stories. Finally, the study has considered investigation and analysis of short stories of James Joyce, which analysts and critics of his works have presented it and it is that Dubliners should be considered as an origin and generality. Considering stories of this artist separately can't be a competent work, since as it is obvious in this collection, the author has been tended to achieve a specific goal through considering a certain order for these stories.
IN HIS NOTES TO Exiles, James Joyce assures the reader that his characters are "suffering during the action," and most of the play's weary critics seem to know exactly how the Rowans felt. Of the many critical comments on the play, perhaps none is so heartfelt as George Jean Nathan's lament that Exiles has all the "spirit and tempo of a German funeral." In attempting to determine whether the play should have been exiled into the furnace along with the author's earlier dramatic effort-modestly entitled "A Brilliant Career" and dedicated to the artist's own soul-this paper will first examine the major types of criticism which have attempted to plumb the thematic content of Joyce's lower depths and will then endeavor to assess the dramatic values of Exiles.
