This eighth in a series continues this ground-breaking word-by-word
analysis of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. This volume covers
chapter 3.3, a long and difficult chapter in the form of a father's
dream. Father HCE dreams of a passive son named "Yawn," a version
of Shaun. Made passive by sucking up to customers, the father's
primal desires project a passive son potentially subject to father
control. And this Yawn is so passive he needs help in releasing his
feces. Talk about anal retentive The dreamer's script loads Yawn's
defenseless psyche with aspects of father-troubled sons from the
collective past, including Freud's famous client Wolfman, Cain and
Oedipus. Father trouble registers as distortions in the son's
sexual relationships. Father-fearing Wolfman took his controlled
son role to a "hole" new level. After witnessing his parents' sex a
tergo male erect, female on knees, doggy style or "dog ma"] and
fearing his father's angry reaction to his witness and celebratory
primal turd, he adopted the ultimate passive beta male attitude: he
wanted to be his father's wife. Yawn in the role of father-troubled
Cain is questioned in the dream by the synoptic gospellers Matthew,
Mark and Luke]. They serve as tools of the father's desire to
control his son, as they controlled the historical presentation of
god's son Jesus. They try to reduce Yawn's particular take on
independence, his Cain-like tendency to pursue his whims, including
killing to get all the sisters. Cain's lack of caring gives us the
problems of cities, which are splattered all over this chapter.
Yawn in the role of father-troubled Oedipus makes the same mistake
as Jesus in Gesthemane: he treats his foster father as his real
father. Oedipus ends up with his mommy as wife as Yawn is hung up
on his. The suggestion is made that the dreamer knows at some level
that Shaun was fathered by Father Michael with a blackmailed ALP,
not by foster father HCE. Freud's hypothesis plays out through
Yawn's porous character: "individual gaps in human truth are filled
by prehistoric truths." Yawn bears the puncture wounds of the
prehistoric father desires for control. Yawn is defenseless because
he lacks individuality. The chapter starts with an anal retentive
and dependent son Yawn all alone in the dark, fearful and needing
help with an enema. The chapter concludes as the new day dawns and
a spontaneous evacuation is made. Gracing these more promising
circumstances, the voice of the Holy Ghost Joyce's version] as the
individuality-enhancing father of Jesus boldly breaks into the
dream, silences the OT father voice and brands as fraudulent the
presentation of Jesus as a servant and eunuch by the three synoptic
gospellers. The mystical gospeller John bears witness to the
presence of the Holy Ghost by unloading a trinity of turds of shame
and the old in order to clear his mind for active and mystical
participation in the Holy Ghost. He unloads spontaneously, just as
Wolfman did his primal turd. The Quick shed the Dead.
