Telemachia in Tagclouds

These are simple word frequency tagclouds for each chapter of the Telemachia in Ulysses. Visualizations like this may offer some insights into the themes Joyce worked in.


A few things I found interesting:
The ratio of "asked" to "answered" in Telemachus and Nestor is about 2:1 ; more questions than answers.  Proteus has very few of either.
Proteus has more color words.
Telemachus is "god" heavy, Proteus is "dog" heavy.
Proteus has 5 "ineluctable"s, stressing Stephen's imprisonment.
