=== Finnegans Wake contains examples of these tropes: ===
 
* [[All Just a Dream]]: A common [[Epileptic Tree]], possibly supported by [[Word of God]]. Not to mention the word "wake" can mean either a funeral ceremony or [[Captain Obvious|waking up]].
* [[Arc Number]]: 1132 appears repeatedly, both as a date and in various addresses. <ref>AD 1132 saw the defilement of a nunnery at Kildare, particularly marked by the rape of the abbess; the man who ordered the attack, Dermot mac Murrough, did so as a move to make the abbess unfit for her office and force her removal in favor of a kinswoman of his own. Mac Murrough's lust for power caused a great deal of internal strife, and it was he who, some thirty-seven years later, offered an allegiance with the Normans which became the first of many long and humiliating occupations of Ireland. James Joyce, like many, traced Ireland's history of oppression, treachery, and sectarian strife firmly back to the rape of the abbess of Kildare.</ref>
