Miserable at Best - Eveline

Question two asks why Eveline's current circumstance with her father and her employer and life in general make it desirable for her to leave with frank. The story's main conflict is Eveline's decision to stay or leave home. She weighs the pros and cons and this is what she says; if Eveline stays she will be stuck with her violent and demanding father who will demand for her to take care of the house and children. Also Eveline will have to continue working at the story with her boss Miss Gavan who she does not care for. Yet, before her mother's death Eveline promised her to that she would keep the family together as long as possible. If Eveline leaves, she will have to break her promise to her mother and leave her family behind. Also she will be going with a man she "hopes" to find love in but she is truely just using him to get away from her life. Both options have their pros and cons and the choice is difficult. In the end Eveline choses to stay home. I think this shows Eveline's unselfishness to her family and her devotion to her mother.
