In the Circe chapter Joyce has a good time. But what I found most interesting is how Joyce really confuses the Steven for Bloom and visa versa. We see Bloom “wearing the hamlet hat”, he is visited by the ghost of his father and also he says the famous “to be or not to be” line on page 499. Further, Bloom (though he does give birth) turns into a child himself. On the other hand, Steven act more like Bloom, he gets into a fight, he is drunk, and he is very witty. Steven’s character in this chapter reminds me of Bloom in the Cyclops chapter. Both key (no pun intended) characters in this play are mixed around. I would like to argue that Steven and Bloom are connected, as is evident in this chapter, on a higher level than just the figurative father and son. It seems that one completes the other.
