Rate from best to worst each one of Ulysses’ episodes:
1. Cyclops — most enjoyable.
2. Proteus — character. 3. Hades — McIntosh! 4. Circe — Rudy! 5. Scylla and Charybdis — intertext. 6. Sirens — second most enjoyable. 7. Nausicaa — suprising, oddball. 8. Thelemachus — character and quotes galore. 9. Penelope — wrap up of wrap ups. 10. Nestor — quotes galore. 11. Calypso — Meeting Poly, Molly, Milly, Rudy and the cat. Mrs Marion. A bold hand. 12. Aeolus — bold failure. 13. Oxen of the Sun — stupidly overrated; trapped by his own structure. 14. Lotus Eaters — Wandering Bloom. 15. Lestrygonians — Calypso, Lotus Eaters and this one are not that bad actually; they are peppered by the whole Blazes Boylan Molly affair, reminiscences of Virag and Rudy, and that glorious epigrammatic Bloom-style sentence structure, all of which is 10/10; it’s just that not one chapter has a monopoly over these subjects and styles, and so none of them gets a boost out of that 10. 16. Wandering Rocks — tiresome, wasted structure. 17. Eumaeus — the come-down. 18. Ithaca — wasted structure.Rate from best to worst each one of Ulysses’ episodes:
