This study examines death in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Death in Ulysses implies the contexts of Irish history of colonial occupation, the Great Famine, and Irish nationalist martyrdom. Joyce describes Irish society enshrouded in death, juxtaposing the death of Stephen’s mother and Bloom’s family. The Irish are fixated upon Catholic mortuary culture, and are paralysed by the memories of the dead. The Irishman Stephen Dedalus is obsessed with his mother’s death. The death of Stephen’s mother, who is nothing more than a victim of the traumatic colonial conditions, represents Irish history. Joyce criticizes this through the character of Leopold Bloom, who has a modern perspective of death and accepts death as an affirmation of life. While the Irish are preoccupied with memories of death, Bloom thinks as a way to obtain the vitality to live. His attitude toward death is life-oriented. Ultimately, Joyce emphasizes the mutuality of life and death and presents the need for the Irish to rethink attitudes towards death under the colonial rule in the early twentieth century.
