NOVEL
Used this narrative device as an act of rebellion against Victorian Prose Writing
Importance of subjective time against objective chronological time
A Modern Odyssey
Leopold Bloom and Jews, Joyce’s Ulysess is an
epic novel:
offers different visions of Daily Life
, personal attitudes, political and cultural discussions and reflection on the Human Condition
Each episode offers it’s own Style
Joyce prepared own outline indicating for each episode: a title referring to a character or incident from Homer’s Odyssey
Joyce constant references to Homer’s The Odyssey and to the world of Ancient Mythology adds a layer of universality to the events
Underlines squalid realty of modernity, lacks of heroism of ancient world
Joyce Ulysses is similar to T.S Elliot book In the Waste Land
Both writers represent modern world as a place where heroism has disappeared and sterility dominates
