I'm going to analyse a little extract from James Joyce’s Ulysses.

It is Molly's monologue. Molly Bloom, the main character of this section is Leopold Bloom’s wife  (Leopold is real protagonist). 


 

Molly is trying to fall asleep in bed, but she can’t because she is thinking about a lot of things: for example she thinks about what the nuns are doing and what people are doing in China. She reminds some kind of flowers and thinks about tomorrow and about her husband Leopold. She would like to organize something: she she is goingo to clean and tidy up her house.

Molly's thoughts concerns nature, for example she thinks about fields, mountains, rivers, lakes, sea and waves, then  she thinks again about flowers. After that she reflects upon God and atheists.

After that Molly thinks about the relationship with her housbandand, particularly, a special kiss. She reminds also what Leopold told her in that moment and that she was thinking about other men.
