The modern era literacy theme that I most noticed in this lesson was stream of consciousness. Stream of consciousness is a narrative technique that attempts to capture the flow of thoughts and feelings in a character's mind, often without a clear or linear structure.

In James Joyce's work, particularly in his novel "Ulysses," the use of stream of consciousness creates a sense of intimacy with the characters as readers are given direct access to their innermost thoughts and emotions. This technique allows for a more complex and layered exploration of the characters and their experiences, making the narrative more immersive and engaging for the reader. Additionally, by mimicking the fragmented and non-linear nature of human thought, stream of consciousness can also create a sense of realism and authenticity in the work.
