The first Episode in Ulysses begins at the Martello Tower in Sandycove, Dublin. The scene involves 4 characters, Buck Mulligan, Stephen Dedalus, and Hainse, three young men who are staying in the tower, and a milkmaid who is delivering milk to them. The episode explores themes of death, Dedalus’s relationship to the Catholic Church, and the relationship of the country of Ireland with its people.
