Finally getting to know Mrs. Marion Bloom

So, the finally chapter of Ulysses. 'Penelope' goes deep inside the feminine consciousness (or stream of consciousness) in a practically unpunctuated free flowing chapter. French feminism talks of gendered language, but I think Joyce has given Molly a proper feminine voice that contrasts wonderfully with the rest of the book and the characters. It is evident that she takes herself less seriously than the men and she is wonderfully unashamed about sex (again, unlike Bloom and Stephen). Again, this is far more obscene than 'Nasusicaa', yet it is not obscene, just honest. A fitting end to a truly epic novel.
