In   Ulysses,   James   Joyce  employs   multiple  narrators  to  observe  or experience  particular  events  from  various  angles,  thereby  uncovering  the multifaceted nature of what actually happened. While the use of a first-person narrator is traditionally necessary to express a character’s unfiltered opinions, Joyce adopts a narrative technique that diverges from conventional first-person narration. Mrs. Breen, though a minor character in Ulysses, is depicted through a range of narrative voices, each presenting different perspectives about her. In the “Cyclops” episode, two narrators portray Mrs. Breen and her husband in contrasting lights—one positively, the other negatively—reflecting their own character  traits  and  biases.  Bloom  and  Molly,  too,  evaluate  the  Breens differently   based   on   their   individual   relationships   with   them.   In   the “Lestrygonians” episode, Bloom views Mrs. Breen from the perspective of a woman he once had feelings for, feeling pity for the poor and aging woman she  has  become.  Their  unfulfilled  desires  from  the  past—unstated  in  this chapter—are  dramatized  in  the  “Circe”  episode.  Molly,  in  the  “Penelope” episode, recounts her version of the story through the lens of a subtle love triangle involving Bloom and Josie.  Although Bloom and Molly each form distinct impressions of Mrs. Breen, Bloom thinks of Molly while reflecting on Mrs. Breen,  and Molly, in turn, thinks of Bloom.  In this way,  Mrs. Breen functions as a catalyst that reaffirms the bond and love between Bloom and Molly.  Thus,  the  reader  must  synthesize  the  various  perspectives  on  Mrs. Breen to evaluate her character in a multidimensional manner.
