2 (U603.2179)

Abnegation?

Second cast. I got 603 and 2179.

Abnegation?
 In virtue of a) acquaintance initiated in September 1903 in the establishment of George Mesias, merchant tailor and outfitter, 5 Eden Quay, b) hospitality extended and received in kind, reciprocated and reappropriated in person, c) comparative youth subject to impulses of ambition and magnanimity, colleagual altruism and amorous egoism, d) extraracial attraction, intraracial inhibition, supraracial prerogative, e) an imminent provincial musical tour, common current expenses, net proceeds divided.


Episode 17, written in the form of questions and answers. A pedantic style of writing is used.

 

In his bed, Mr. Bloom is thinking about his wife Molly’s lover, Boylan.

 

His thoughts are a mixture of envy, jealousy, abnegation and equanimity. Here is the question and answer to the third one. It seems that a legal style is used.

 

In episode 17, couplets are dominant.

 

in kind in person,

reciprocated reappropriated,

collegial altruism amorous egoism,  are  couplets

extraracial attraction intraracial inhibition supraracial prerogative,  is a triplet.

 

George Mesias is mentioned in (U90.831), (U229.881),(U388.1302) and (U4061908), which show that he is the common tailor of Boylan and Mr. Bloom.

 

His model was real, and Joyce must have been amused by the fact that Mesias (Messiah) lived in Eden.

 

We are told for the first time, near the end of the novel that Mr. Bloom and Boylan had met in 1903, before Molly and Boylan met.
