Again, there are two other major images of flow. As Randolph Splitter suggests (194), urine and the flow of words are significant. According to Splitter, this set of three types of waste flow is informed by ambiguity, having a ‟dangerous, dirty” and ‟lifegiving” quality” (194). It is commonly understood that the Wake is a dream (DiBernard 22-23; Norris, ‟Possible Worlds” 420). The flow of waste implies the life attitude of the dreamer in the Wake. It implicates failures in the dreamer’s life, which he must face but has difficulty accepting in his sleep; social norm always troubles his conscience so that it obscures the contours of his failures. Yet, his failures in his life appear by transforming themselves into the waste flow in his dream when he struggles to accept them. In this essay, I will discuss his attitude towards life in exploring the set of types of waste flow: women’s urination, the river Liffey, and flowing words.}, pages = {1--16}, title = {Struggling with Waste Flow : The Wakean Dreamer’s Attitude towards Life in Finnegans Wake}, volume = {117}, year = {2023}, yomi = {ミヤハラ, シュン} }
