Bear in mind that unlike in the song, the title of the book is not possessive ("Finnegan's Wake"), but plural.

If the book is to be seen as the dreaming night when compared to the waking day of Ulysses, how many Finnegans are there? Are we not all, in a sense, Tim Finnegan, having our dreams and our subconscious swirling minds assembled into the appearance of chaos, not unlike this, but which actually has a deep and interlocking form and sense that can be pieced together? Is sleep not a small death from which we are resurrected every morning?
