Ulysses is an Irish writer James? Joyce's novel published in 1922.

The novel describes the hero Leopold in chronological order. Bloom's experience in Dublin on June 16th, 194. Joyce arranged this because it was his first date with his wife. The title of the novel comes from the Latin translation of Odysseus, a hero in ancient Greek mythology.

Bloom worries about his wife Molly's indiscretion all day. Boylan is Molly's lover. At 1 o'clock in the morning, Bloom received a love letter from a female typist. After reading it, he tore it into pieces and went to church for mass. At 11 o'clock, Bloom took a carriage to the cemetery to attend Dignam's funeral. He recalled his son who died young and his father who committed suicide. He reflected on death and thought that it was best to be cremated or buried at sea after death. He thought that he was just an advertising agent, a wandering Jew. He felt sad and even thought of death, but immediately returned to reality.

At noon, Bloom went to Freedom to explain his advertising plan to the editor-in-chief, and then rushed to the Telegraph Evening News newspaper to meet the young poet Stephen. On the way home, Bloom was filled with emotion when he saw Stephen's sister selling old furniture at the auction house by a monument. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Bloom went to a cheap little restaurant, where people wolfed down their food and made a lot of gaffes. So he went to a more advanced restaurant, where he met his acquaintance Flynn. During the conversation, Flynn asked about his wife, which reminded him that his wife was going to date Boylan at 4 pm, and he felt unhappy.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Stephen gave a talk about Shakespeare in the library. At 5 pm, Bloom made an appointment with a friend to meet at the bar. Bloom really can't stand a scoundrel who attacks Jews. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Bloom was attracted by the girl Gertie, but later found out that she was actually a cripple. At 1 o'clock in the evening, Bloom went to the maternity hospital to visit Mrs. Mina, who was in dystocia. In a society where morality is declining, families are divided, and traditional ideas are lost, Bloom has the illusion that Stephen is his poor son.

When it was dawn, Bloom came home and found that the indoor decoration had changed. He fantasized about the tryst between Molly and Boylan, but he felt that it was not all Molly's fault, and he didn't meet her requirements himself. He was willing to make another effort. Molly was half asleep, and her husband Bloom, Boylan, her first lover and Stephen appeared in her dream. She vaguely felt a maternal satisfaction and an impulse to young men. However, what she thinks most about is her husband who has lived with her for 1 years. She thinks he is still a good husband and is determined to give him another chance. Expanding knowledge
