James Joyce · English Literature

In 'Ulysses', the 'Aeolus' episode is set in a newspaper office and is characterized by the use of:

  1. A sequence of letters and documents
  2. A dramatic script with stage directions
  3. A formal legal deposition and court transcript
  4. A catechism of questions and answers
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A dramatic script with stage directions

The 'Aeolus' episode is broken up by intrusive, bold-faced headlines. This stylistic choice satirizes the evolution of rhetoric and the disruptive nature of modern journalism.
