the moral of the story is the story

The moral of the story is the story. So many people are worried about what art is that they deprive themselves of seeing the world in any other way but the norm. In the story Ulysses, James Joyce chronicles the day in the life of a few people in Dublin, Ireland. Joyce uses a stream-of-consciousness technique full of puns, parodies, and allusions ultimatley giving rich characterizations and broad humour to his work. When his work was initially published it was banned in Great Britain and the United States.
If one attempts to read Ulysses expecting it to have a structure similar to ordinary writing they are in for a surprise. The way Joyce writes makes the initial reading of this story quite difficult.
The point of the this blog is to show that although a piece of work might not be classified as 'sticking to the normal structure,' it still shows the audience something important. If the audience shuns a piece of work because it doesn't have to proper structure then they are depriving themselves of something fantastic and possibly life altering.
