In James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake," the wife is not given a specific name. She is referred to as ALP, which is short for Anna Livia Plurabelle. This character symbolizes the River Liffey in Dublin and plays a significant role in the novel's themes of life, death, and resurrection.
In the soliloquy at the end of James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake," ALP is speaking as a mother figure, expressing her deep connection to her family, her responsibilities, and her role in the cycle of life.
