Kil, Hye-ryoung. “An Ireland in Bloom: the Mythical Ireland Surviving in Ulysses.” Studies on English Language and Literature. 33.3(2007): 1-16. An Irish reading of Ulysses discovers a structural parallel to the early Irish history and mythology that is well known to the Irish public in Joyce’s time. The three main characters, Bloom, Stephen, and Molly, all represent Irish mythic figures: the invader king of Ireland, the heir to the king, and the goddess queen of Ireland. In the Homeric parallel of the novel, Molly embodies the helpless queen who faithfully waits for the king; yet in the Irish mythic structure, Molly acts as the self-surviving queen who willingly goes to bed with the English and the Roman conquerors. By transforming the virtuous but suffering woman image of the Catholic British Ireland into the adulterous but sovereign goddess of the mythical Ireland that embraces strangers, Joyce creates a free sovereign Ireland that has survived and integrated the lengthy history of the English-Roman colonization.
