For James McMichael, Joyce's Ulysses invitations the big variety of interpretations it has bought: what it additionally does is to prod its interpreters to place the publication to a few simply use. If Ulysses have been extra traditional than it truly is, McMichael claims, its readers may well set more well-off limits for themselves of their responses to it, limits that didn't expand past Ulysses into their dealings with folks on this planet. yet what occurs in its place is that the singularly unconventional narrative constitution of Ulysses retains reminding them that the tale they're being informed approximately any of the characters is similar form of tale they inform themselves each time they give thought to somebody. It reminds them that each individual should be spoke back to justly and that the justice in their reaction to anyone will depend on how justly they represent that individual of their concepts. McMichael insists that it's justice that Joyce himself such a lot wishes. Distinguishing Joyce not just from the immature Stephen Dedalus but additionally from Ulysses' completely unresponsive narrator, this research describes Joyce's tacit yet discomforting plea that Ulysses be judged now not rather a lot for its literary mastery as for the measure to which it's a simply reaction to individuals in need.

Example text
The waiting itself is anything but pleasant, though, for I am answerable throughout it to what you are asking tacitly of me, which is to do your case justice. Because I cannot postpone my obligation to you, I often want nothing so much as to forget the obligation itself. I forget it from time to time but it is always there. It is always there because there is always more to your case, to which I have not yet done justice. Unable to postpone my obligation to you or to forget it in a way that lasts, I am nonetheless free to excuse myself from it simply by being reasonable.
Because they are out to improve the lot of the persons for whom they speak and because they have settled on what that improvement must be, they tell a single case only and it is the case of no one person. Because each person they serve is for them a representative victim of the same injustice, whatever else there may be to his or her case remains tacit for me until I have heard it and judged it worthy of response. But manners, laws, and responsible collective efforts do not absolve me of my obligation to let each person have a case with me even when that case is tacit only and not expressed.
No two persons will read Ulysses the same way. Its parts of speech are therefore merely phenomena and not reality. But because these parts of speech disclose something of Jamesy's superior intelligence, they are more acceptable phenomena than phenomena of the "real" Dublin or the "real" Anywhere Else. "Because it was a task for a superior intelligence to substitute other more acceptable phenomena in place of the less acceptable phenomena to be removed" (17: 1008-10), I pretend that Jamesy has removed "real" place and time and has substituted for them the phenomena you and I encounter in Ulysses' parts of speech.
