Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped.

In my opinion, 'The Dead' is often considered one of the best in 'Dubliners'. It has a profound exploration of themes like love, death, and the human condition. The way Joyce portrays Gabriel's realization about his wife's past love and his own sense of self is masterful. The ending, with the snow falling all over Ireland, is both beautiful and poignant, leaving the reader with a deep sense of melancholy and a greater understanding of the characters and the Dublin society they inhabit.

A great 'Dubliners' short story often has a strong sense of place. For example, if it can vividly portray the streets, the pubs, and the general atmosphere of Dublin. This helps to ground the story and make it feel real. Also, complex characters are important. If the characters are well - developed, with their own desires, fears, and flaws, like in 'The Dead', it makes the story more engaging.

I think 'Araby' could be seen as a great Dubliners story. It's a coming - of - age tale that captures the idealism and disillusionment of youth. The young boy's journey to the bazaar, full of hope and excitement initially, only to be met with the harsh reality of the ordinary and the mundane, is something many can relate to.

I'd say 'The Dead' is the best because of its deep themes. It delves into the human condition on multiple levels. The characters are complex, like Gabriel, who has his own insecurities and self - realizations. The party setting provides a backdrop for various interactions that expose the social and personal aspects of the Dubliners. And as I mentioned before, the ending with the snow is just masterful in its symbolism.

One of the great 'Best Dubliners stories' is 'Araby'. It's a coming - of - age story. The young boy's infatuation with his friend's sister and his journey to the bazaar, Araby, is filled with disappointment. Joyce uses the setting and the boy's experiences to show the harsh realities of Dublin life and the disillusionment of youth.
