Set in Dublin on a single day, June 16, 1904, the story follows three main characters: Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom. Through their intertwined lives, Joyce uses a stream of consciousness technique to delve into themes of identity, love, and existence. We discuss Bloom's journey as a Jewish advertising canvasser, Stephen's struggles as a young artist, and Molly's complex femininity. The novel's rich language and innovative structure mirror Homer's Odyssey, transforming mundane events into profound reflections on the human experience.
