The plot summary for this doesn't seem very neutral; many of the statements seem (in my humble opinion) to be very hostile towards the character of Gabriel. This should probably be revised from a particular interpretation to a simple factual summary. Any discussion of possible symbolism or psychoanalysis of the main character should be supplemented by citations, as they should serve only to inform about various interpretations of the text in the academic (or internet) community rather than to advance one as being "correct". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.64.113 (talk) 20:33, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Popular Culture: Father Ted
In the closing scene of the first series of Father Ted ("Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest"), the "boys" keep vigil on Father Jack's coffin. As it snows everywhere outside, the narrative sounds suspiciously like a parody of the end of Joyce's "The Dead." Then like Tim Finnegan, Father Jack arises, resurrected from the dead!!! Is this coincidence? or maybe a little in-joke???--PeadarMaguidhir (talk) 07:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
