Ulysses challenges its readers to keep up with changing narrators‚ perpetually modulating language and constantly evolving characters whose inner monologues and reminiscences depict a psychologically rich journey. This groundbreaking novel‚ if viewed as a traditional narrative‚ walks slowly‚ giving the reader time to establish his or her own relationship with the story. What emerges is whatever the reader puts of herself into it or seeks to get out of it. Though the action is little there is

Beowulf and Ulysses‚ they express the journeys of two epic heroes. Beowulf and Ulysses share similarities‚ but have different perspectives on how they travel and fight. The two rulers are very loyal to their kingdom and their subjects. Beowulf quickly “accused himself of breaking God’s law” after the dragon had incinerated Geatland (708-709). He considers himself and his citizens as an entire entity. If a person causes fault to his rule‚ then everyone‚ including himself is blamed. Ulysses invites

Two such examples are "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Tennyson inspired by the famous attack of the 1854‚ and "Disabled" by Wilfred Owen written following the Great War. They both portray a vivid image of war‚ but the poets give the impression of having completely opposing views on the subject. The Charge of the Light Brigade‚ commemorated by Tennyson’s poem‚ was
