Abstract

This work aims at comparing the short stories “Eveline” (1904) by James Joyce and “Las medias rojas” (1914) written by Emilia Pardo Bazán. In “Eveline”, the protagonist Eveline wants to emigrate from Ireland to live with her boyfriend. In “Las medias rojas”, Ildara wants to leave Galicia. In both cases, the emigration wishes do not become real: in the first, Eveline gives up leaving her country. She was motionless at the port when her beloved left. In the second one, the protagonist’s father assaults her to force her to stay. In both short stories it is highlighted the violence against women: in “Eveline”, such violence is more a psychological and economic one while in “Las medias rojas”, besides being psychological and economic, the violence is also physical. In this sense, this work aims at analyzing the short stories taking into consideration the gender violence that the protagonists suffer regarding family patterns of violence. To do so, it is applied the ‘transangerationality’ psychoanalytic concept for the analyses.
