"A Painful Case" from Dubliners is about Mr. Duffy who loves Mrs. Sinico, the lady who walked in front of a train when she realized that their relationship was never going to work out. Lots of people have suggested that this points to the man in the brown Macintosh being Mr. Duffy. However, in "Circe," Bella states that the owner of the brown Macintosh on the coat rack is "the devil." Just thinking out loud on this one.
