Introduction
Ulysses may not be the greatest novel in the world, but it is definitely the most outstanding piece in the field of fiction of stream of consciousness. As a work of renovation in style, it shocked the public in two unconventional approaches. The first one is its paralleled structure with the ancient epic Odyssey. Joyce, the author, compared Odysseus’ ten years of wandering aboard to Bloom’s a day in Dublin. In turns, the son of Odysseus is paralleled to Stephen who is a young man indulged in philosophy and a lonely one searching for a special father. Penelope, the loyal wife of Odysseus is the anti-version of Molly who is having an affair with another man. James Joyce, the creator of this masterpiece, narrowed down the time period to one day as come to the parallelism of time.
The second approach is its unique application of the style of stream of consciousness. In most places of narration, the author had not played his role as the third person story-teller. Instead of this traditional way of narration, James faded out and let the characters’ inner world exposed out in front of the readers so as to lead them to observe every single detail of the life in Dublin. Through this exposure of the inner world of characters, it’s obvious that there are some contradictions between the shows which they put on in their daily lives and the real feeling that they buried deep in their heart. These contradictions may not be strong enough to plot out the story-line because of the features of stream of consciousness. Therefore, it is apparent that the acknowledgement of the features of stream of consciousness in Ulysses is the key to the appreciation of the book.

1  Introduction of the author and the book
    Ulysses is one of the most incomprehensible masterpiece in this century, so does the life of its author—James Joyce.
1. 1 Author
James Joyce’s origin was Ireland. His greatest contribution to literature was his experimental use of language by the style of consciousness in Ulysses, as his works including (Dubliners in 1914, A Portrait of Artist as a Young Man in 1916, a play Exilesin 1918 and Ulysses in 1922 and a collection of poems, Chamber Music) [1] were all marked by the style of stream of consciousness.
This genius was born in Dublin, on February 2, 1882 in a family which the parents were not so compatible in their careers. Although they were impoverished, the family struggled to maintain a solid middle-class facade [1].
The accomplished author received his education in Clongoues Wood College, Belvedere College and finally in 1898 he entered University College, Dublin.转贴于 酷文网-论文下载中心 http://www.coolwen.net
