Are we gonna fall on our knees and kiss the shores, Sophie?
Or will we grab bow and arrow and lay waste to the palace and the suitors?
And if you're concerned we're sounding just a little too flip, it's worth remembering that Joyce himself said that Ulysses is fundamentally a humorous work those were his words, filled with wordplay, toilet humour and irreverence.
So I I feel that Joyce would approve of whatever approach we take.
Well, yes.
And publish poems in uh periodicals about how ignorant we were.
He he would d depict us farting criticism onto his work and finally being engulfed and poisoned by the toxicity of our o of our own effusions.
Okay, Sophie, it's synopsis time, sixteenth of june, nineteen oh four.
Stephen Dedalus, who we last encountered in Portrait of the Artist as a young man, and let's be honest, we're relieved to see the end of is back.
So we're definitely into Born Legacy stage here.
If you recall, y you may not want to recall, but if you recall Sophie, Portrait ended with Stephen deciding everything was going to be so much better in Europe.
And frankly, as he said good riddance to Dublin, I think we were feeling good riddance to Steve and Devilus.
Well, unfortunately, he's had his stint in Europe and he he's back in Dublin.
Partly because his mother became ill and has died, and in consequence, he is all at sea.
He's also racked with guilt, as he should be, because his mother asked him to pray with her before she died.
And rather than
than just getting on and doing so, he decided this was the moment to take a principled stand against organised religion.
I'm definitely on his mother's side in this one.
It's just like just get on your knees and do it, Stephen.
We follow Stephen over the course of the morning, including teaching a class at the school where he works, then returning to the same bloody beach where he spent so long ruminating in the prequel.
