OE
opacity, inscrutability Joyce’s book is described as “stream-of-consciousness,” with “convoluted puns and obscure allusions.” The adjectives “convoluted” and “obscure” are the most important parts of this sentence. They tell you that the novel is likely hard to understand. A good fill-in would be difficulty (specifically, of understanding). Elaborateness (marked by complex detail; intricacy), meaninglessness (nonsense), informality (relaxed style), and uniqueness (the quality of being one of a kind) have no relationship. While meaninglessness might seem tempting, it’s too extreme to be correct.
