I'm going to analyze an extract taken from the 18th chapter of James Joyce's Ulysses: "Molly's Final Monologue". As the reader can see it is an interior monologue. The writer uses the stream of consciousness method in order to express Molly's thoughts, where time is simultaneous, not linear, according to Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The protagonist is Marion Bloom (Molly). The scene is set in her bedroom. She is in her bed and she starts thinking. All Molly's thoughts are connected by an associative process. All her thoughts are also connected with the senses. She is a very sensuous woman and she is the emblem of femininity. First of all she thinks about time: It is early in the morning. She connects the concept of time with people in china and with nuns. She thinks about Chinese people because they are just getting up an "combing out their pigtails for the day". So she thinks about the typical Chinese hairstyle. After that she links people in China with Irish nuns. They are ringing the angelus. She is referring to the nuns who lives in the church near her house. Maybe she can hear them singing. She also says that nuns can sleep well, because their sleep is not disturbed except by the priest, for his night office. Reading the following sentence the reader can see that Molly's sleep is disturbed by her neighbours' alarmclock. It makes a noise that clatters her brain out of itself. She tries to sleep. She counts "1,2,3,4,5" but she can't fall asleep. She looks around herself in the room and she sees the flowers painted on the wallpaper. She links the flowers with the wallpaper in Lombard street. She thinks that "it was much nicer that the apron he gave me". By the word "he" she is referring to her husband, Leopold. He gave her an apron for present but she had just wore it twice because she does not like it. Subsequently she connects flowers with What she's going to do later: she's going to go to the Lambers because she needs flowers to decorate the house: this sentence lets the reader understand that she does not belong to the working class and that she likes her house. She wants to buy flowers because maybe Leopold is going to bring home a male guest (Stephen). Thinking about the home she remembers that she has to do the place up and to clean the keys of the piano with milk. For the occasion she wants to appear very nice (a sensuous woman). After that she thinks about what will they do together: they will listen some music and smoke cigarettes. In a second moment she thinks about what she is going to buy and about what flowers she may need. Thinking again about flower she also thinks about nature: wild mountains, the sea, the waves, a country with fields of oats, rivers, lakes and flowers again. She uses the word "God" to express a strong exclamation, a strong feeling. This recalls to the concept of a strong religious influence in the life of Irish people. I can say the same thing when she thinks about atheists: here appears her strong religious conscience. After that Molly's thoughts concentrate on her husband and what they use to do when they were younger: she remembers their date and their first kiss. He loved him because he understood the essence of all women: they are all "flowers". While she is thinking about that. in the text there's a repetition of the word "yes": this let the reader know that she is beside herself with a strong flux of emotions and feelings. She's a strong woman because she knows what she is and what she wants (differently from Eveline, Molly is aware). The final part of Molly's monologue proceed with a innatural speed: she thinks about flowers again, related to the strong sensuality and sexuality that her thoughts about the kiss with her husband under the Moorish wall make explode.
