The beginning of "Ulysses" introduces readers to Buck Mulligan and Stephen Dedalus at a Martello tower overlooking Dublin Bay. Buck Mulligan, a lively and somewhat boisterous character, prepares for the day with an unrefined but humorous manner, invoking religious imagery as he shaves. Stephen, in contrast, is depicted as introspective and burdened by memories of his deceased mother, reflecting on grief and guilt while navigating his relationship with Mulligan.
