Summary "Ulysses" by James Joyce is a modernist novel written in the early 20th century. This influential work takes place in Dublin and chronicles the experiences of its central characters, primarily Leopold Bloom, as well as Stephen Dedalus and Molly Bloom, over the course of a single day, June 16, 1904. The story engages with themes of identity, daily life, and the complexity of human thought, often intertwining the mundane with profound introspection. The beginning of "Ulysses" introduces readers to Buck Mulligan and Stephen Dedalus at a Martello tower overlooking Dublin Bay. Buck Mulligan, a lively and somewhat boisterous character, prepares for the day with an unrefined but humorous manner, invoking religious imagery as he shaves. Stephen, in contrast, is depicted as introspective and burdened by memories of his deceased mother, reflecting on grief and guilt while navigating his relationship with Mulligan. The opening sets the tone for the intricate explorations of character dynamics and the dense, stream-of-consciousness narrative style that Joyce employs throughout the novel.
