34	A woman too brought Parnell low	This refers to Irish-nationalist Charles Stewart Parnell's affair with Katherine O'Shea, wife of Captain William O'Shea, an Irish soldier and Member of Parliament. Captain O'Shea had not divorced his wife because she was expecting a large inheritance. When Captain O'Shea finally filed for divorce in 1889, the ensuing trial revealed the affair and the fact that Parnell had fathered three of Katherine's children. The divorce scandal severely damaged Parnell's reputation and caused the Catholic church to condemn his immorality.	Heather Munro P...	2016-06-06 10:01	view

53	Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods’ roes.

233	She is drowning	Interesting that the metaphor Stephen latches onto to describe Dilly's plight is "drowning." He feels guilt ― perhaps not elevated to full consciousness ― because he imagines that all his siblings are drowning in poverty and he can do nothing to save them: each one, including Stephen, can only fend for him- or herself. We must reassess what's previously been on his mind when he has thought about drownings, and maybe extend our consideration of the significance of "agenbite of inwit." The guilt he feels is not only related to his mother's death, perhaps, but also to his incapacity of helping his siblings. In Proteus (http://www.infiniteulysses.com/ulysses/45) Stephen asked himself if, in certain circumstances, he would try to save a drowning man. Now, in Wandering Rocks, he identifies his own sister in a drowning condition right before him. Does he try to help her? No.	bbogle	2015-06-25 06:17	view

The importance of baldly stating an exact, or near-exact, time is that it allows us to reasonably accurately synchronize all the activity of the 19 sections of Wandering Rocks. A few other exact, or near-exact, timestamps which are relevant to this episode may also be found in Sirens and Penelope. No doubt Mr Joyce directly stated the time in the very first paragraph deliberately to signal to us that we could synchronize all the action. Synchronizations in space and time are central to a deeper understanding of this pivoting mid-book episode, although it can also be read more superficially with considerable enjoyment.	bbogle	2015-06-08 18:53	view

25	Ethel,	Conjecture: Women named Edith & Gerty appear in Nausicaa; a girl named Lily appeared in Telemachus, the Carlisle girl. There is none named Ethel in Ulysses, unless that may be nurse Callan's name (as in Ithaca, it is noted her first name is unknown). I don't mean the boys are whispering about these particular women or girls: Rather I take it that the reader is to puzzle together these names with those recited in Ithaca: "a nurse, Miss Callan (Christian name unknown), a maid, Gertrude (Gerty, family name unknown)." The reader knows Gerty's family name from the Narrator. Note too these four names echo the four names (of the patron saints of the then United Kingdom) in Circe: "Patrick, Andrew, David, George, be thou anointed!" Four women's names in a boys school in Stephen's head; four saint's names in a brothel in Bloom's head..	wvarga7a1	2015-05-14 07:19	view
731	yes	Why “yes” so many times? The series may be interpreted as Molly “is coming,” she is masturbating at the end of her monologue, Penelope, and thus, she fulfills the phrophecy made by Malachi Mulligan in Scylla & Charybdis: the novel has become “a national immorality in three orgasms.” Part I of Ulysses ends with Stephen about to masturbate at the conclusion of his monologue, Proteus: he will come (future) just off scene. Part II shows Bloom has masturbated (past), he has come, by when the reader recognizes him in Nausicaa after which Bloom continues with his monologue. Part III concludes with Molly masturbating (present) before the reader, she is coming.

22	go to God	Interpretation: Why does Joyce have Mulligan exclaim "Go to God"? We might expect "Go to Hell." This exclamation appears to be the first instance of Joyce throwing the reader a clue as to his method: Take something familiar (from Homer, Dante, or Shakespeare) and invert it. Joseph Campbell writes (Mythic Worlds, Modern Words, pg. 15), "Dante depicts Florence as Hell. Joyce reverses this idea: he depicts hell as Dublin." Hence "Go to God" that reverses "Go to Hell" indicates the reader is "not in Kansas anymore."	wvarga7a1	2015-05-13 22:27	view
4	to shave	Why does Joyce have Mulligan shave? Mulligan's whiskers begin the pattern of excretions/secretions that will follow: everything the human body can excrete/secrete, will be in Ulysses.	wvarga7a1	2015-05-13 22:10	view
731	Mr Stanhope	Why does Joyce have Molly think of Mr Stanhope? Because the reader has learned that "fathers friend Mrs Stanhope sent [Molly that lovely frock] from the B Marche paris." Plainly, Major Tweedy had been doing to the Mrs what Boylan willl have done to Molly come this day in her marriage: before she accepted Bloom’s marriage proposal she thought of the cuckold, Mr Stanhope.	wvarga7a1	2015-05-13 21:53	view

50	My teeth are very bad. Why, I wonder? Feel. That one is going too. Shells.	After all that business about chrysostomos in Telemachus it's only now, in the third episode, that we discover that Joyce (and Stephen) was setting up this dichotomy; that is, it is in part because of Stephen's bad teeth that he was sensitive to Buck's golden teeth, even, white and glittering. Stephen was not only describing but contrasting, presumably reflecting on the injustice of the situation. Thus at this line about Stephen's teeth, so far removed from the original observation, we suddenly have a new interpretation, or way of understanding, what had been informing Stephen's thoughts much earlier. How we understood at least one part of Telemachus is subtly altered. Of course by widely distributing meanings and interpretations throughout the entire text of Ulysses Joyce insures that our understanding of the whole is constantly being challenged. This technique makes the book more life-like and keeps us coming back to it as we slowly fall under, and eventually fully succumb to, the spell which Joyce weaves.	bbogle	2015-04-27 21:20	view

This technique makes the book more life-like and keeps us coming back to it as we slowly fall under, and eventually fully succumb to, the spell which Joyce weaves.	bbogle	2015-04-27 21:20	view

89	Mr Bloom reviewed the nails of his left hand, then those of his right hand. The nails, yes.	During this brief exchange Bloom wishes he could refine himself out of existence. See this passage of Stephen's from Portrait: "...The dramatic form is reached when the vitality which has flowed and eddied round each person fills every person with such vital force that he or she assumes a proper and intangible esthetic life. The personality of the artist, at first a cry or a cadence or a mood and then a fluid and lambent narrative, finally refines itself out of existence, impersonalizes itself, so to speak. The esthetic image in the dramatic form is life purified in and reprojected from the human imagination. The mystery of esthetic, like that of material creation, is accomplished. The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails."	bbogle	2015-04-21 16:39	view

He himself is also engaged in a (solely) epistolary affair with a woman named Martha Clifford, whose letter to Bloom we see in the next chapter.

20	It is mine, I paid the rent.	One of the tricky points. The common interpretation is Stephen paid the rent to the tower, and Mulligan is "usurping" the tower from him by taking the key. In real life, it was Gogarty who paid the rent; perhaps Joyce was taking some kind of revenge by reversing the situation. An alternative explanation is that it is Mulligan who paid the rent, and what we read here is Mulligan's voice ringing in Stephen's mind. This would square better with the real-life situation, and the later revelation of Stephen's debt of nine pounds (more than twice his salary) to Mulligan.	Armagan Ekici	2015-03-22 07:30	view
31	guinea	A guinea was an old gold coin, worth slightly more than one pound sterling (21 shillings - 1.05 pound).

Joyce himself made a point of borrowing in gentlemanly guineas, and so does Stephen. The subtlety of a contract in guineas being more upper class is also present in "A Mother" in Dubliners.

Yet, in the French translation approved by Joyce it is "abominable" and it is unlikely that Joyce would miss something like that in the first page. Perhaps the double meaning was intentional.

3	the dark winding stairs	Takes place at the Martello tower in Sandycove (outside of Dublin). Joyce briefly lived there with a friend, medical student Oliver St. John Gogarty) after whom Mulligan is modeled. In Dublin's Temple Bar district, there is a pub called the Oliver St. John Gogarty, and a statue of Joyce and Gogarty is outside of it commemorating their relationship. This particular stairway in the tower is an extremely narrow, dark, spiral staircase, that leads to the top of the tower. The view from the top overlooks the coastline and the town of Sandycove with Dublin in the distance. Martello towers were used for spotting incoming attacks; there are about 50 along Ireland's coast, many of which are used as locations in works of fiction. The Sandycove tower is now a museum called the James Joyce Tower.	laurapavlo	2015-03-09 12:52	view

Surely it is intentional...	ariadne89	2015-03-04 19:48	view
