Hello All, I pulled the following out of my notes for this chapter. Concepts to look for. Contrasts--- Cynic vs. idealists/ scientist vs. artist/ robust extrovert vs. contemplative introvert Mulligan takes Stephens money without qualm. Mulligans teeth are white andgold edged and Stephens are rotted. Mulligan saved a life. . .Stephen could not save his own mother from "drowning" Icarus? Religion? Water plays a major part in this chapter. . The priest at the swimming hole serves what purpose? Water is also part of 2.57 "weep no more . . . watery floor/ through the dear . . . walked the waves" look at Milton Lycidas165-93. 1.34 3:37 Your absurd name Stephen = The first Christian martyr Daedalus = (Greek) cunning artificer Daedalus and his son Icarus were thrown into the labyrinth by Minos. Daedalus created wings made out of wax and feathers to escape. icarus flew to close to the sun and his wings were melted. He fell into the sea and died. Deadalus lived out his life creatively. Joyces Ulysses is a maze of ideas, Dark city streets, mixed up words and dialogue . As son Stephen is Icarus(Telemachus) to Daedalus(Odysseus), the father- Just as Stephen plays Hamlet, the son throughout the day. 1.400 13:39 messenger---the milkwomen appears in the role of mentes-mentor(pallas athenas disguises) in book one and two of the odyssey At the end of chapter 1(Telemachus) Stephen decides to leave the Martello Tower. What factors lead to this decision? 1.120 6:11 I can't wear them if they are grey Stephen= Hamlet's insistences on dressing in black after his fathers death. Historically one would wear black for one year and a day. by 1904 this rule way relaxed. If the period between his mothers death and burial was the traditional three days . . .she must of died June 23 1903. Stephen would be free to go into second mourning in eight days. At this point grey would be acceptable
