Analysis of a passage from Ulysses by james Joyce student ema mustafic moly. Moly said that she liked her husband because he undressed what a woman was. She also said that the sun shone for her and that she could make him do what she wanted him to do. In her monologue we can find images which appeal to each of the five senses.
Molly in the opening lines of a passage from Ulysses called Yes said that Leopold Bloom, her husband, called her Flower of the mountain and said that the sun shone for her and those were her reasons because she liked him. Also she said that he undrestood what a women was but that she could also make him do what she wanted him to do. Because of these reasons that she mentioned for liking him I think that Molly is predominantly sensual. In her monologue we can find images which appeal to each of the five senses. For example, images that appeal to sense of sight are: rhododendrons (line 2), flower of the mountain (5-6), the sentry in front of the governors house with the thing round his white helmet (14-15). Images that appeal to a sense of touch are long kiss (5), I put my arms around him (37). Sense of taste: I gave him the bit of seedcake out of my mouth (3-4). On the sense of hearing: The Spanish girls laughing (16), the fowl market all clucking (19), the castanetes (26). And finally the images that appeal to a sense of smell are the rosegardens and the jessamine (31) and also breasts all perfume (38). In the description of Gibraltar there are some references to colours, for example: white (15, 23), pink, blue (30), yellow (31) and red (34). References to flowers: rhododendrons (2), flower of mountain (5-6, 32), jessamine, geraniums (31), rose (33). Also there were several references to ethnic groups and these are: Spanish girl (16), Greeks, Jews, Arabs (17-18), Moors (23). Couple references to animals: all birds fly (13), fowl (19), donkeys (20), bulls (22). And finally, there were some references to place names and those are: Howth head (2), Duke street (19), Algeciras (27), the Alameda gardens (30), Gibraltar (32). There were couple of images in this text that suggest heat and those are the sentry. half roasted (14-16) and also men asleep in the shade (21). Images that suggest joy are: the sea , the sea crimson. And geraniums and cactuses (28-32). The auction outside Larby Sharons (17-19) and handsome Moors (23) are images that suggest exoticism. And also there is one image that suggest eroticism and that is kiss2 (34). In the last section of the text Molly's memoris of her first lover seem to merge into her memories of Leopold Bloom on the day he proposed. There were two repeated phrases that establish the link between the two occasions and those are: my mountain flower and he asked me would i yes to say yes. The units of meaning in the passage are connected in four main ways. They are connected by and (example: and the devil knows who else (18), and the big wheels of carts (21)), by because (example: I liked him because i saw (8)) by yes (example: yes first i gave him the bit of seedcake (3)) and by the juxtaposition of ideas and images. Repetition is also used in the text. Words and phrases that are repeated in the text are: yes, Flower of the mountain, the sun shines for you, kiss.
The distribution of the word yes is regular throughour the passage and it is concentrated at the beginning and end of the text.
