Chapter 10 of Ulysses, climax, Joyce's scene description

Since the beginning of the 20th century, modern novelists have adopted more concise and concise descriptions of scenes, characterized by the use of nouns and verbs as much as possible, and the use of metaphors instead of adjectives; the emphasis is to avoid adverbs and adjectives, unless it can enhance the effect The reason for this is simply that the pace of life has accelerated Busy people don't have time to read lyric prose with gorgeous words and few practical contents Chapter 10 of Ulysses is a climax of the book, and the last chapter Molly's stream of consciousness should be the climax of the whole novel In this chapter, Joyce uses a very simple way to describe the scene Through the ingenious synchronous structure, he recorded the busy scenes of 50 people in Dublin at about 3pm It's a way I've never seen before It's eye opening This chapter can be regarded as an independent structure At the beginning of the article, father conmi stepped down the steps of his house, walked through several blocks, and took a tram to the outskirts of newkomen bridge He got off at House Road and walked on to a church in the country On the way, he met a disabled soldier on crutches, begging along the street; the priest had no money for him, so he used blessing instead Father Conmee saw a group of junior students coming home from church school As a former principal, he asked the youngest child to post a letter in the mailbox across the road He likes these children and evokes many memories Father conmi met several acquaintances on the road, and he thought of many things, which were recorded by Joyce, and inserted several synchronization marks in his spare time Here's one: "a boy with a red face came out of a gap in the fence Then a young girl emerged with a bunch of wild daisies in her hand The young man suddenly raised his hat for a salute The young girl quickly bent down and slowly and carefully took off a small branch which was on her light and flowing skirt (this one is used as background again in other scenes later) father conmi solemnly blessed the two of them, and then turned over a thin page of "holy day lesson" and continued to recite while walking " Chapter 10 is divided into nineteen parts, describing different people doing different things Without exception, each part has a synchronous mark that echoes back and forth, closely connecting the whole story The climax of the story is the last part The Irish governor and his wife, together with their entourage, ride in two carriages They are surrounded by cavalry bodyguards who cross the city and go to the charity bazaar of Mercer hospital Along the way, there were many people who saw the governor's motorcade stop to salute, but there were also people who were expressionless From time to time, the governor saluted the passers-by and showed his gentleness and respect.
