* [[HCE]]- Finnegan, protagonist, Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker ==Commentary== Helmingham Erchenwyne Rutter Egbert Crumwall Odin Maximus Esme Saxon Esa Vercingetorix Ethelwulf Rupprecht Ydwalla Bentley Osmund Dysart Yggdrasselmann [[page 88]] He is everybody because he is asleep and dreaming and in sleep there is no subject/object duality. He is "same as and equal to himself". It has also been argued (Tindel, ''A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake'') that Joyce intended HCE, the protagonist, to represent everybody who ever existed, specifically every man. [[ALP]] is intended as an extension and opposite, representing all women. Because the cycle repeats endlessly, all men fall like Adam and HCE. Therefore every male character in the book is an incarnation of HCE. [[category:HCE]] [[Category:everyman]]
