Abstract
Nearly every reader can discover something of importance in Ulysses. There is, of course, Joyce's stream-of-consciousness technique, which seems to present a first-hand recording of the flow of thoughts. There is also the creation of a whole new world in minuteness of detail. Add to this the immense vocabulary of Joyce, his painstaking search for le mot juste. Consider the complexity of his mythic parallels, both Greek and Irish. Take into account Joyce’s gift for developing sounds, words, and symbols for his own express purpose. And not even then will you have the modern complex that is Ulysses.
