Consubstantiality, originally referring to the same nature shared by the three persons of the Godhead in the Orthodox Christian theory, is applied in James Joyce`s Ulysses to the aspect of similar features shared by different beings or things. Virtually everything on the textual level cross-refers each other through consubstantial operations of a common motif or a pattern. The twosome image of `stick and hat` represents that of spear(or sword) and helmet in the context of warfare related to the Homeric parallel, whereas it symbolises male and female in the sexual context. In both contexts, concerning the two major characters` mature masculinity on the thematic level, it ultimately discusses their creativity. With the image of turning around or revolution and the sign of infinity, the figure `8` leads tl the pattern of endlessly repeated circular wandering that includes in it a single, tentative meeting, which can be paraphrased into the Viconian concept of "history repeating itself with a difference". With the symmetrical form, it implies the Brunonian concept of coinciding contraries. This is also pertinent to symmetrical patterns such as chiasmus, tumescence-detumescence, and circularity. They succinctly manifest those two major structuring principles. None of the patterns are perfect, however; they usually show a certain degree of asymmetry, imbalance, and even deformity. What the incomplete modes of patterning point to is the restless and dynamic relationship between being and becoming.
