C.G. Jung notes that Joyce's "Ulysses" offers a unique reading experience, as it lacks a defined beginning or end. This flexibility allows readers to approach the text from various angles, making it possible to enjoy the conversations in reverse without losing the essence of the humor. Each sentence stands alone as a gag, contributing to a larger, though seemingly aimless, tapestry of ideas.

The structure of the novel resembles a worm that can regenerate itself; one can stop mid-sentence and still derive meaningful insights from it. This quality invites readers to engage with the text in innovative ways, highlighting the fluidity of meaning and the non-linear nature of Joyce's narrative.
