Answer 6

And also, depression is not an outlook.

Answer 7

Well, the young woman is ashamed at the way her husband bought the lion carving.

Answer 8

she maybe bleak

Answer 9

was she irritated due to circumstances?

Answer 10

Sure, you could say she was irritated.

Answer 11

yeah because of all the problems with her family

Answer 12

She wasn't necessarily irritated because of problems with her family. She was irritated because she realized she didn't really love her husband anymore. It didn't have much to do with her family, actually.

Answer 13

but she could have also been irradiated with the problems with the family

Answer 14

She didn't have problems with her family. She had problems with her husband. The word "husband" and the word "family" are not interchangeable. They mean completely different things.

Answer 15

add all of it up all the problems and im pretty sure she was irradiated with everything

Answer 16

do you know in someway what the "dust" symbolize? All I know is the lack of changes occurring.

Answer 17

a husband is family

Answer 18

Dust is symbolic of the lack of life in the house and how nothing ever really changes much. Like dust, lack of movement makes more of this fine debris accumulate; in life, stagnation also begets more stagnation unless some kind of willful movement changes us.
Dust is mentioned repeatedly to reinforce Eveline's own lack of movement. The story opens with her placidly sitting beside her window, watching the world go by. Most of the action takes place in her mind. She almost makes it out of Dublin and to Buenos Aires (literally translated "good air,") the opposite of her dust-covered life in Ireland, but in the end she is too afraid to make the change. It is as if her personal dust had been disturbed by a slight wind, only to resettle once again and cover up her hopes.
