    The tenth chapter, "Clay," provides a stark contrast to the previous story. Here, Joyce in troduces us to Mrs. Clancy, a widow who is dutifully caregiving for her elderly mother-in -law. The narrative revolves around Mrs. Clancy s day-to-day life, which is characterized by monotony and obligation. Her existence seems void of any real passion or purpose, a fate shared by many characters in Dubliners. The central theme in "Clay" is the oppressive nature of societal expectations and the in dividual s struggle to meet them. Mrs. Clancy is burdened with the responsibility of caring for her mother-in-law, a duty that she fulfills with resignation and little complaint. Her life is a testament to the deadening effects of societal norms and expectations, particularly for women in Dublin society during this era.
