\u201cThe soul is in a manner all that is: the soul is the form of form. Tranquility sudden, vast, candescent form of forms.\u201d This early quote by Talbot in the 2nd<\/sup> chapter, frames Joyce\u2019s use of the \u201csoul\u201d throughout the novel as being the inherent \u201cquality\u201d of a person place or thing. Used in every single chapter of the book, \u201csoul\u201d encapsulates Joyce\u2019s concern with the ever evolving self and essence of being. Joyce also connects this extremely personal definition and oftentimes conflates it with the more traditional and ecclesiastical definition of the soul. In addition, Joyce is interested with the idea of taking these canonical, almost knee-jerk interpretations of the word \u201csoul\u201d and complicating the matter through related terms like \u201cmetempsychosis\u201d, which reflects the structure of the novel; particularly in the relative uncertainty surrounding the identities of certain characters and sacrilegious overtones that permeate throughout the text. The frequency with which we encounter the word normalizes what is traditionally considered extraordinary, and allows Joyce to play with the concept of a \u201csoul\u201d through both his shifting characterization and varied modes of storytelling.<\/p>\n
