James Joyce?

    Im doing an end of year essay in college on James Joyce's Ulysses and would like to hear people's opinions on some of the approaches im doing..
    • Stephen's response to his mothers death. What chapter is significant?
    • His use of stream of conciousness. How does it work in relation to one major character in Ulysses, and explain its significance to the meaning of a chapter in the book.
    • Stephen’s response to Irish history in Ulysses.
    • What do you think Joyce was trying to achieve by putting Bloom at the centre of Ulysses?
    • Some find the ‘Penelope’ episode smutty and pornographic; some feminists have celebrated the episode as a virtuoso representation of the female unconscious; other feminists have admired the rich depiction of Molly’s interior life but have complained that Joyce confines his heroine to exclusively domestic preoccupations (sex and the body, personal relationships, the private sphere) and has denied his major female character any real public life. Which of these views of the ‘Penelope’ episode seems most insightful to you and why?
    • Joyce’s treatment of religion in Ulysses. What chapter is most significant?

    Any suggestions or general thoughts and feelings on the Ulysses would be really appreciated! :) x

    Sorry, this is not a forum for people to do your homework for you.
    If you want to discuss Ulysses, the Literature forum would suit better.

    I could actually write a book on James Joyce so excuse you! This is a creative writing forum is it not?

    I was hoping to get a creative spin on something i already know!

    If you've written a book on James Joyce then this would be a suitable place to discuss that, however discussion of novels by other authors is not the remit of the Creative Writing forum.
    The Literature forum is here.
