Ulysses의 구조적 특징 = Structural Characteristics of Ulysses

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is attempted to analyze the inner and outer structural characteristics of James Joyce's Ulysses for the porpose of understanding Ulysses and James Joyce further Ulysses is one of the great books of our time and James Joyce is the most influential innovator of the novel as a leader of literary modernism.
The riddling motifs of Ulysses ard complicated in turn by allusion, quotation and simple images or changed words. The subordinate patterns and relationships of Ulysses have importance largely because they elaborate the central mevement and structure and thus develop the applications of what might otherwise have seemed a parable for artists. Stephen and Bloom become representative of two types of human existence, two kinds of human nature and experience, two forms of human aspiration, endeavours and destiny.
The schematic patterns, structures and allusions illustrate the universality of the theme of the interaction of opposed human needs-for isolation and for mutual aidfigured in the chance and apparently inconclusive encounter between two men on an ordinary day. Ulysses has an elaborate hidden structure,which no reader however attentive could possibly work our during his first reading. The best way of getting to know the inner and outer structure of Ulysses is to note in the margin the references to pages where pharses are repeated. The structure of Ulysses, determined by character and theme, as we have noticed, is also determined by the co-operation of Homer. The Structure of Ulysses may give some trouble although, determined like theme by the three characters, it falls naturally into three simple parts, the three great blocks of material with which Joyce built his work.
However one certain and central characteristic of the structure was referred to by Joyce, in a letter written in 1915, when he said that he was engaged on a novel which is a continuation of A Portrait of the Artist and also fo Dubliners. To consider in what was Ulysses continues to earlier works would seem a practical step towards discovering the direction in which it proceeds beyond theme. It exhibits all of the structural characteristics I have been studying and can this serve to illustrate their working in some detail. This kind of structure, of course, is a function of Joyce's massive unwillingness to get on it and tell a simple linear tale.
Here Ulysses involves dozens of allusive contents, and continually intersecting, modifing, qualifying and another. Joyce's uniqueness and complexity lie not in his themes or characters, nor in his basic methods of developing them but in his accepting the challenge of an olympian use of his chosen methods.
