One of the central tenets of James Joyce’s work, the paralysis or blighted figures that live in Dublin, can be vividly noticed in his short stories Araby and The Sisters. Albeit written at a time of peak Irish nationalism, the two stories elucidate what Joyce discerned to be the dull, idle, and sorry lives of Dubliners. Joyce’s utter refutation of Irish pride caused him to create characters in the city that lacked confidence and direction in their lives. The theme of paralysis can be perceived in

Mary Shelley’s Romantic novel Frankenstein explores the theme of whether outer beauty correlates with inner morality via the Creature, a sentient artificial life who is highly intelligent but grotesque. The Creature’s monstrous appearance causes others to ostracize him and transforms him from an innocent creature to a morally
strange that neither I nor the day seemed in a mourning mood” (Joyce 4). Joyce suggests that despite the priest’s gift of a unique education and the possibility of providing a path to upward social mobility, the narrator cannot overcome the feeling of uneasiness associated with Flynn.

Set against the backdrop of Naples, the characters in Ferrante’s My Brilliant Friend are immersed in a world of violence, ignorance, and poverty. Under this shadow, Elena and Lila struggle to define the past of their parents from their own future. In fact, it is the weight of despair that allows small moments of joy to become vibrant within the story; as James Wood describes, “deprivation gives details a snatched richness” (Wood 10). The luminosity of moments like when Elena travels to Ischia, when
narrative "The Dead," has been found to embrace a multifarious idea of enlightenment, regarding internal and external identity faced by the author himself.
