Here's why:
* Eveline's internal conflict: The story revolves around Eveline's internal struggle between staying with her father, who is abusive, and leaving with Frank, the man she loves, to start a new life in Buenos Aires.
* The turning point: The turning point comes when Eveline sees the "familiar" faces of her neighborhood, bringing back memories of her childhood and the strong ties that bind her to her home.
* The moment of decision: The final paragraph focuses on Eveline's hesitation and ultimate decision to stay. She sees "the expression of terror in her eyes" in the faces of the people on the boat, suggesting she sees her own fear reflected back at her.
* The unresolved ending: The story ends with Eveline's paralysis, unable to act or to leave. This is the resolution of the conflict: she remains, but the ending is ambiguous and leaves the reader wondering about the potential for change in Eveline's future.
Therefore, while not a traditional denouement, the final two paragraphs of "Eveline" mark the story's resolution, where Eveline's internal struggle culminates in a decision, even if it's a decision to remain trapped in her current situation.
