=== Joyce's works contain examples of: ===
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Farrington in ''Dubliners's'' "Counterparts", receiving a surprisingly sympathetic, [[Anti
* [[Anti
* [[Author Avatar]]: Dedalus, whose first book wasn't called ''A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'' for nothing; and to a lesser extent, HCE from ''Finnegans Wake''.
* [[The City]]: Joyce claimed that if it was destroyed you could ''rebuild'' Dublin from the detail in ''Ulysses''.
Line 29:
* [[Deconstruction]]: Novels as an entire art form and English as a language, starting small with ''Portrait of an Artist'' then going for broke with ''Finnegans Wake''.
* [[Defictionalization]]: in ''Ulysses'', all the locations are real, some still exist, and real-life Dubliners crop up as characters with their real names.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: the riffs on Homer's Odyssey are integral to understanding ''Ulysses''.
* [[Gender Bender]]: In one of Bloom's internal dialogues in ''Ulysses'', he is turned into a woman and raped by the Brothel Madam, who has turned into a male ringmaster.
* [[Genre Shift]]: This trope pops up in ''Portrait'', then rules the day in ''Ulysses''.
Line 46:
* [[Spiritual Sequel]]: Read ''Portrait'', ''Ulysses'', and ''Wake'' in that order.
* [[Trope Namer]]: One of the countless throwaway words in ''Wake'', "quark", is used in particle physics.
* [[Twice
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Leopold Bloom and Molly.
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: Joyce assumes his readers possess quite a bit of intuitive insight.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: In almost everything he wrote, biblical and Homeric allusions and [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]].
