Bloomsday: resources (it's probably coincidence that U begins at the moment of moonrise)


Joyce called this the Hamlet episode, opening atop a tower, with SD as Hamlet.

BM is a mocker of all, tempting SD to compromise his esthetic ideals and take life less seriously.
Haines is a test case for this conflict, whom BM 'plays' but SD alienates by truthtelling.
The milkwoman may anticipate Bloom, making the best of her low status.

Bloomsday: resources (it's probably coincidence that U begins at the moment of moonrise)
Tower: infopix, miscmisc
Mulligan: pix, routine antiVictorianism, Gogarty, more
