Look for examlpes of the "seven deadly sins" portrayed in individual stories.
For example "lust" in "The boarding House"
"sloth" in "counterparts"
"envy" in "A Little Cloud"
"wrath" in "Counterparts"
"pride" in "Clay
Also many of the stories have allusions to Dante
The best study on the subject is "The Unity of
dubliners" by Brewster Ghiselin" which can be found in "Dubliners" Text Criticism and Notes edited byRobert Scholes and A walteon Litz
Most of the characters are paralized in some way, spiritually
emotionally, vicitms of circumstance.
