Read with eyes that are not your own, read through the time period or values of that era. When the Dublin women feed exotic and expensive produce to a number of guests. The women usually don't eat such extravagant meals unless they can pay for it on a special occasion. No one can understand the anxiety over the success unless we see how important it really is. The brother the math teacher or the brother an ex convict who loves music and sends a gift to the teacher. It about redemption not recovery but understanding. A too rigid insistence on the fictive world is limited and understanding too. Take the works as they are intended too try to find the right reading perspective. It will allow sympathy and historical movement ,but destructive is how the work is controlled and reduced by values and prejudice. Soony wants a letter of sympathy , he makes the narrator feels guilty , now with no bars between them . Anyone can love a junkie but only one can understand their needs and not try and reform the one who admits peril, with difficulties. In Greek mythology the chief implement of religious practice like when Achilles withdraws from war because his sex slaves is taken would really affect Achilles it could probably destroy the one he holds dear, dooming him to an early death. We would miss the most of them if we read it through the lens of our own pop culture, it seems unacceptable to reject it or any work, sight is unseen.
