Epiphany and the style of "scrupulous meanness" in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Dubliners helps to understand Joyce`s secular aesthetics. Epiphany or "sudden spiritual manifestation" in "triviality" demonstrates that Joycean aethetics is based on the importance of a specific event in a concrete time-place of everyday life and the awareness of its epistemological value. And the style of "scrupulous meanness" is the means of representing that epiphanic reality as scrupulously and exactly as possible. Epiphany as a theory of artistic awareness has close relation to its style of "scrupulous eanness". Spiritual experience symbolically approached and described through the inner view of a character requires a backgrounding of details on everyday reality, that is "triviality". And the dynamic dual operation of representations: the symbolic and the realistic, inner view and outer world are merged and balanced in the free indirect speech. Joyce could represent a character`s inner and outer world simultaneously through free indirect speech derived from the "le mot juste"(of Flaubert) and show that spiritual inner vision in trivial reality (epiphany) could be embodied in the narrative style. Epiphany and its style of "scrupulous meanness" or free indirect speech commonly confirm the value of "triviality" in everyday reality. It means that Joyce`s art lies in the secular world rather than in the higher spiritual vision.
