Chapter 4: Tomorrow

Answer: Yes, it is true that “Every mental state, even madness, has its equilibrium based upon self-esteem. Its disturbance causes unhappiness”. A person who is disturbed at some point of time in life causes unhappiness even though he is aware of his capabilities. The same happened in the story. The old Hagberd reached a state of equilibrium based on his self-esteem and respect, and when he lost control over his mind, he was unhappy, owing to which he suffered a lot.

Answer: ‘Eveline’ is one of the shortest stories, a part of James Joyce’s collection Dubliners. ‘Tomorrow’ is a story written by Joseph Conrad. The thing that makes these two stories similar is that both stories are short, and the narration of the plot in the story is brief. Both “Eveline” and “Tomorrow” explore the idea that the choices we make can have a profound impact on our lives and the lives of those around us. They also suggest that the decision-making process is often difficult and that it can be difficult to know what the right choice is.
