have employed some of the devices and methods that Joyce introduced in Ulysses. Contrary to the normal course of a novel‚ both Ulysses and Mrs. Dalloway take place in the course of a single day.

In Ulysses these are Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom and in Mrs. Dalloway they are Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Smith. But the main borrowing I’d like to focus on for a moment is structural

“The Scarlet Ibis‚” written by James Hurst‚ is a short story full of symbolism. The theme I took from reading it is that having too much pride can blind one from seeing what is truly important. This is shown when the narrator‚ whose name is not disclosed‚ considers smothering his younger and disabled brother with a pillow.
