    “Sweet Duplicity: Jamesian Moral Ambiguity in Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn” Mítoszok bűvöletében: Ünnepi kötet Virágos Zsolt Kálmán 70. születésnapjára. / Enchanted by Myth. A Volume for Kálmán Zsolt Virágos on his 70th Birthday. Németh Lenke, Zoltán Simon, András Tarnóc, and Gabriella Varró, eds. Debrecen: Kossuth UP, 2012. 82-87. Ágnes Zsófia Kovács Sweet Duplicity: Jamesian Moral Ambiguity in Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn Colm Tóibín (1955) the internationally renowned Irish novelist published his sixth novel Brooklyn in 2009, which won the Costa Book award the same year. It relates the story of Eilis Lacey, a young Irishwoman who emigrates to the US looking for a better life in the 1950s. The book is a fascinating read both because of how it handles the problem of cultural difference between the US and Ireland of the 1950s and also because of the detached storytelling, the use of point of view limited to the perspective of one character, that allows for multiple readings of the same imaginative scenario. Incidentally, both themes, the negotiation of cultural difference and the limited point of view triggering diverse reactions tie the book in with Tóibín’s other novels, his avowed psychological interest, the so called Jamesian legacy. In this essay, I am going to pinpoint those elements of Brooklyn that create a moral dilemma constructed along Jamesian lines. I claim that the subjects of illicit love, misguided loyalty, and moral ambiguity in the novel are themes that are connected to the Jamesian power of secrets Tóibín continues to explore. In order to make my position clear, first I am exploring those elements of the plot in Brooklyn that lead to Eilis’s moral dilemma about secret lovers.

  • DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Before She Goes to America, Eilis Believes
    DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Before she goes to America, Eilis believes that, “While people from the town who lived in England missed Enniscorthy, no one who went to America missed home. Instead, they were happy there and proud” (pg 26). Why do you think the Irish had such a rosy view of America? How are Eilis’s expectations met upon her arrival? 2. As Eilis begins night classes in accounting, she notes the divisions between Italian and Jewish students, and the lack of English or other Irish students. At work, she must confront racial integration when Bartocci’s opens its doors for the first time to black customers. How does Eilis react to the divisions among Europeans immigrants from different countries, as well as those between white and black Americans? How are the traditional ethnic lines of Brooklyn beginning to break down in the 1950s? 3. When Eilis and Tony first meet, she seems more interested in him as an escape from her troublesome housemates than as a genuine romantic interest. Tony, however, is clear about his love for Eilis from the start. Why do you think Eilis is hesitant in her feelings? Is a relationship with such uneven attachment doomed from the start, or do you believe that one person can “learn” to love another over time? 4. Some characters in the novel are referred to as Miss or Mrs., while others are identified by their first name. Does this reflect their relationship with Eilis? Why would Colm Toibin make this stylistic choice? How would your perception of the characters in Brooklyn be different if Tobin had written the novel from the “first- person” perspective of Eilis? 5.

That mission has gradually shifted towards equipping students for jobs rather than teaching them to think. Realistically, both of these are viable objectives, and each is better served if viewed in symbiotic relation to the other. In this light, honest soul-searching on the part of humanists about the relevance of our fields to contemporary life is likely to result in both articulate defense of traditional programs as well as innovative interdisciplinary courses of study.
