Analysis Molly's monologue:

The extract belongs to the last part of the 18th chapter of "Ulysses". This episode is called "Penelope" and belongs to the 5th section called "nostos": this figure could be connected with Ulysses' wife in Homer's "Odyssey", but the two women are different: while Homer's Penelope is a faithful woman who waits his husband during his exile from Itaca; Molly Bloom is an unfaithful wife, she stands for the essence of female nature.
In this extract the time is not fixed: in Molly's interior monologue she shifts from present to future and past: from the alarm clock(present) to the description of Gibraltar during her youth and the dialogue with her future husband(past).
The technique Joyce uses to tell her thoughts is the "female interior monologue", a sort of "stream of consciousness": she reports a sequence of thoughts and feelings that can divided in: : general attitude about life, memories of her past, and trivial moments and problems for the next day.
She also uses flowers, nature and landscape as elements of association.
The scene is set in her bed: she is asleep and she is made up thoughts and sensation that follow one another in her mind creating a river-like flow. Her thoughts, apparently at random, do have a form: they begin with the word "yes" and end with the word "yes": so her thoughts flow in a circle, symbol of Molly, symbol of perfection: she becomes the quintessence of origin of men's experience: all the man she has known become one man.
