Charles A challenge: theJefferson Airplane song Rejoyce. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lscRNs... While it is certainly flavored by it's time, I think it's a sympathetic reframing of Molly Bloom. Others?

Jan C (woeisme) | 1526 comments Question/comments from the Evanston, IL, public library discussion group:

Episode 18: Penelope – The Bed

Key Player: Molly

The final episode is eight sentences long – eight very long sentences. How did you respond to this stream-of-consciousness type of style?

After waiting for so long to meet her in the novel, what do you think of Molly?

Where you surprised to learn the full extent of Molly’s sexual experiences?

Do you think of Bloom differently after gaining Molly’s perspective? How?

What do you make of the end of the novel? Is it what you expected?

Organ: Flesh • Art: None • Color: None • Symbol: Earth Technic: Monologue (female)
