Joyce had met a young woman named Nora Barnacle in 1904. (He married Nora Barnacle in 1931 at the insistence of his daughter, although he was against the marriage.) Ulysses takes place in Dublin on 16 June 1904, the day Joyce, in her own words, realizes that she loves Nora Barnacle. (The main protagonist of the novel is, in a way, the city of Dublin. In “Bloomsday”, which is held in Dublin every year on 16 June, tours are organized to visit the places mentioned in the chapters in the book.) The plot is, at its core, very simple: student Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom, a self-employed Jewish ad aggregator. However, what is really told is that these two people are part of a larger reality that transcends their individual identities: Stephen is the representatives of the “artistic” nature, and Bloom is the representatives of the “scientific” nature. On the other hand, these two outcasts are of particular importance to both Joyce and each other: Stephen is a reflection of Joyce’s youth and Bloom is a reflection of her maturity; Bloom is Stephen’s “spiritual father,” so to speak, etc. But the main literary significance of the book is due to the symbolic parallelism of its framework with Homer’s epic Odyssey and the different techniques and styles Joyce used, especially the 18th century. and comes from the “stream of consciousness” in which the thoughts of Molly, Bloom’s wife, are projected in the final chapter.
