The text of Finnegans Wake,like a living being,moves perpetually in flux.In its flux the drive of the text denies both a limit and closure.As an emblem of a mysterious and vital dimension of the life force,Anna Livia,a female character of the text,is continuously wandering,circulating,and producing:she is the river Liffey flowing across Ireland.Her perpetual movement,her ceaseless turning,goes beyond daylight reason and reflects the desire of the Finnegans Wake text,which produces irreducible content.In the complicating and dense texture of the work,everything is interlocked through the flow of the life force of Anna Livia.The proliferating quality in the textuality resists any fixed form of the reality of life.The essential function of the “force” is to make things move,and it both separates the united and holds together the dispersed.The vital flux produces without reason or logic because it has impulse instead of aim.Anna Livia Plurabelle and her flux of the life force are the products of the unique rhetoric of the two chattering washerwomen on the banks of the river Liffey.The sound of their discourse is the sound of the river’s flowing water,or its fluidity.The playful polyphony of their talk and the incessant and delicate variation of the meaning in their words are liberating because they are never stabilized.The rhetorical form of gossip becomes the channel through which repressed voices are released.Concerned with the subject of Anna Livia’s constant fluidity and proliferating energy,the unique qualities of the gossips’ conversation are especially effective.Their fragmentary and ceaslessly shifting flow of talk becomes the carnivalisque writing of Finnegans Wake.The dynamic,mobile,and intense energy of their narrative forces the text of Finnegans Wake into perpetual movement like a living flux.The text generates meanings infinitely,though there is no direct connection between its generated meanings.Taking the form of flux,the fragmentary text of Finnegans Wake does not have an immediate goal,but aimlessly flows,always ready for connecting and distorting to produce new meanings.In the dense and complicated texture of the work,the only constant is the deep flow of life’s unpredictable possibilities. The text of Finnegans Wake, like a living being, moves perpetually in flux. Its flux the drive of the text denies both a limit and closure. As an emblem of a mysterious and vital dimension of the life force, Anna Livia, a female character of the text, is continuously wandering, circulating, and producing: she is the river Liffey flowing across Ireland.Her perpetual movement, her ceaseless turning, goes beyond daylight reason and reflects the desire of the Finnegans Wake text, which produces irreducible content. In the complicating and dense texture of the work, everything is interlocked through the flow of the life force of Anna Livia. The proliferating quality in the textuality resists any fixed form of the reality of life. The essential function of the “force” is to make things move, and it both separates the united and holds together the the. The vital flux produces without reason or logic because it has impulse instead of aim. Anna Livia Plurabelle and her flux of the life force are the pro ducts of the unique rhetoric of the two chattering washerwomen on the banks of the river Liffey. the sound of their discourse is the sound of the river’s flowing water, or its fluidity. playful polyphony of their talk and the incessant of delicate variation of the meaning in their words are liberating because they are never stabilized. The rhetorical form of gossip becomes the channel through which repressed voices are released. Contrived with the subject of Anna Livia’s constant fluidity and proliferating energy, the unique qualities of the gossips’ conversation are especially effective. Their fragmentary and ceaslessly shifting flow of talk becomes the carnivalisque writing of Finnegans Wake The dynamic, mobile, and intense energy of their narrative forces the the text of Finnegans Wake into perpetual movement like a living flux. The text generating meanings infinitely, though there is no direct connection between its generated meanings. The coated form of flux, the fragmentary text of FinnegansWake does not have an immediate goal, but aimlessly flows, always ready for connecting and distorting to produce new meanings. In the dense and complicated texture of the work, the only constant is the deep flow of life’s unpredictable possibilities.
