Ulysses: Notes on "Nestor"

STYLE:    drier; the adverbs are gone; mixed with more of
          Stephen's thoughts (23)

HOMERIC PARALLEL: Deasy = Nestor (false information, false
     wisdom)

     Deasy give "news" of history and the Jews; Bloom is, of
     course, Odysseus. Hence the conversation with Deasy is
     appropriate. 

     The original Nestor was similarly unhelpful - a windbag full
     of old stories, but no helpful knowledge of Odysseus'
     whereabouts.

HISTORY THEME: classical, Irish, Jewish -> NIGHTMARE

     Picks up from Haines's stupid remark "It seems history is to
     blame" (28-29, 30).
                     
Toward "Proteus": Stephen's thoughts dominate the first three
chapters increasingly as he escapes the influence of Mulligan,
and becomes encumbered by his mundane, Irish reality.
