《尤利西斯》中強化的隱喻特質

Rejuvenated Metaphoricity in Ulysses

對詹姆士、喬依思而言，隱喻是建構《尤利西斯》主題並引出真理的重要手法之一，因為他善於活用隱喻把現實的多面向巧妙帶出來。本篇論文將舉例論證喬依思如何運用隱喻，上從歷史典故，下至日常生活，例如音樂與食物，來構築愛爾蘭人與世界互通的橋樑。透過語言的戲耍，輕鬆扣緊生命的共同意義。

For James Joyce, metaphor has been one of the major structural and thematicprinciples of Ulysses, assimilating truth into his work. Joyce revitalizesmetaphors to play out the many-faceted reality. Trying to make metaphorsrepresent points of view and strengthen the illusion of self-sufficiency, Joyceutilizes both historical allusions and the styles he parodies to define thefundamental relationship between words and reality in Ulysses. Besides,metaphors built upon the mundane, typically music and food, show how Joycehas established a bridge for people around the world to enter the Irish world, thusglobalizing the Irish experience while localizing the universal.
