In James Joyce`s Ulysses, coincidence, or the accord between separate things, serves as one of important motifs. In the reasoning of Bloom the hero of the novel, no apparent coincidence is purely gratuitous or casual. However remote and separate they may appear, all things in the universe are interrelated in their movement by a magnetic influence. The magnetic influence is so ubiquitous that it even draws together apparently contrary things, effecting what is called coincidence of contraries. Thus, the ultimate significance of "coincidence of contraries" is not so much an equivalent balance between two extremes as the coexistence of all constituents in a unity. Coincidence, however, does not mean two entities` staying in its sameness; rather, it is close to a temporary encounter or passing by of things, which each go through an endless process of changing in the course of life. This is suggestive of an important character of love, the moral counterpart of coincidence, which is a mode of consubstantiality on the epistemological level. While aspiring to consummate a happy fusion of beings, love, "that is really life," contributes towards the maintenance and creation of life, which entails movement directed towards change. And this explains such virtues as relativity, flexibility, and universality that characterise Bloom`s love.
