This study is a detailed textual examination of the
word parallaxx" in Ulysses. It distinguishes three levels
of meaning for the word in the novel. In the first level,
parallax functions as a character motif, a detail, first
appearing in and conforming to the realistic surface of
Bloom's inner monologue, whose meaning is what it tells of
his crucial problems of identity. In the second, parallax
functions as an integral part of the symbolic complex, lying
outside of Bloom's perceptions, surrounding the emblem of
crossed keys, symbol of, among other things, paternity and
homerule, two major narrative themes. The third level in-
volves parallax as a symbol informing the novel's overriding
theme of the writing of Ulysses itself and of the relation-
ship between the novel's representative life and artistic
design.
