the last word of the novel (YES) anticipates, reiterates or otherwise recapitulates the first word of the novel (S-tat-E-l-Y)in reverse and in a simplified form, thus auguring, envisioning or otherwise prognosticating the circular structure of FW

Furthermore, if you subtract what Buck Mulligan really has to SEY from that first word, all that's left is TATL. He weighs his every syllable, but Molly just lets the words flow and comes up with more sense and substance - and a positive conclusion, which is what Buck will never reach.

Buck Mulligan is the only interesting character in this whole crappy book.

Molly's Yes to conclude Ulysses is not just about Joycean wordplay, it's about motherearth and life and love and to show the reader that Bloom the Everyman and the Other is loved sincerely despite being ridiculed by Dubliners.
