There are a wide range of lifeless things in Joyce`s works, Stephen Hero, Dubliners, A Portrait, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. Amongst them "mistletoe" and "Moorish wall" remain a recurrent image, which indicates only personal memories. However some inanimate objects such as "perfume" and "cocoa" recreate the relationship with `the other.` Through these objects this thesis focuses on the sticks including the cudgel, cane, pandybat, ashplant, lifewand, etc. The sticks represent five predominant images. At first, in the case of the beggar and Duffy, they symbolize self-defence. Secondly, as augur`s and Stephen`s, symbols of authority. Thirdly, as Farrington`s and Priest`s, tools of domestic and educational violence. Fourth example is HCE`s and Issy`s marks of patriarchy. Lastly, as Stephen`s, medium of dancing. Through the symbols of these various sticks Joyce hints his view of `the other` including the lifeless things. The sticks such as cudgel, truncheon, pandybat, and whip shouldn`t use for punishment or inflicting pain. Using the sticks for these purposes only efface the others who should coexist together. Especially, children who are beaten by their fathers with sticks might incarnates the domestic violence in their minds. As a result they might become anti-socialize as they become adults. So, like Stephen`s dancing with the ashplant and Shem`s speaking to `the dumbs` with his `lifewand,` it is better to restore good terms with `others.` In order to have a good relationship with others, individuals shouldn`t adhere to one`s own morality and social position, or beat the others. Like an ashplant and lifewand each person should be a medium of delivering life. It`s better to try to acknowledge the others as organic existences and have mutual sympathy altogether. Therefore, Joyce illustrates the lifeless things as a partner of fecundity.
