Nestor: Thoughts and Questions
1) Stephen thinks about history very abstractly at the
start of the chapter (2:49-52, 2:67-76 on p. 21), but
he responds quite differently when Deasy tells him his
idea of history (2:377-86, p. 28). Note Stephen's and
Deasy's very different conceptions of history and of
God.
2) Deasy is the Homeric Nestor figure (a wise old man, associated with horses). Note, then, how he talks about Jews (2 346-49, 2:361-63, 2:437-42) and women (2:389-96).
