Table of character equivalents in The Dead and The Ugly

Each character in "The Dead" has a corresponding character in The Ugly. We have mapped them out here for your reference. Both the Sisters Morkan have been "bifurcated" into two characters each and Mr. Browne has actually become three! But not to worry - you'll get it. If you like puzzles you can try to identify two famous authors (Joyce contemporaries) amongst the bifurcated.

The bride and groom in The Ugly, Jackie Diamond and Pete Karmon, as well as their wedding officiant Reverend Healy, do not correspond to any human characters in The Dead. The weding ceremony in The Ugly is the equivelnt to the carving of the turkey in The Dead so one can see Jackie, Peter and Reverend Healy, figuratively speaking, as the turkey and trimmings of the Christmas dinner served at the Morkans.
