I've always loved the fact that the novel ends with the affirmation "Yes," but I had't realized that the entire chapter seems to be held together (if not made cohesive) by this very word.
Wordandphrase.com was helpful in terms of singling out unusual or striking words in this chapter, particularly in relation to what genres they most often appear in. This tool seems to be useful in exploring the richness and variety of Joyce's texts.
