I've been reading Dubliners recently, and the stories are good, but I really can't understand Two Gallants.
The ending is the main thing that confuses me. What is the "gold coin" supposed to mean? Am I supposed to know? Is this intentional?
>he doesn't get the gold coin references
it's from a proto-hittite fable, aren't u familiar with pre-mosaic levantine folklore? stay pleb fag, joyce aint for u

before u go nuts googling ur head off, that was a joke, i don't know what the fuck it was about, the chick was a hooker, so probably something to do with fucking, but like dubliners basically sucks so who gives a shit
>>8064259
having to explain the joke ruins it, anon
>>8064269
i know but some of these kids have aspergers and i'd feel bad if he went on wikipedia all night trying to find it
Weren't they just two assholes that stole a coin from some lady? I don't remember the story very well.
I'm pretty sure >>8064306 is right.
I mean it's Joyce so I guess you could say it represents his conquest of the woman or the English being cunts or the futility of religion.
