Eveline shows us our heroine as she prepares to leave Ireland and thinks about all that she will leave behind. The life she will leave is a difficult one, a small one, and one where any day violence could break out. She wants to escape, but when she arrives at the port and prepares to board the ship she's no longer sure it's the right thing to do.
