See Hill (333, 338) and Zimmerman (66), who problematically invoke the story about Joyce's refusal to pray at his own mother's deathbed in order to confirm Stephen's guilty conscience. 2. Alan Dundes proposes another source for the fox in “Nestor”: “The Robber Bridegroom” of the Aarne-Thompson classification of folktales, type number 955 (see Ashliman). In this tale, a fox almost buries his new wife before his secret is discovered (Dundes 138). Dundes reads this subtext in Stephen's riddle and suggests that the exchange of the lover for the mother betrays an Oedipal system of desire.
