![]() Joyce brings Irish politics in as a major theme for Stephen Dedalus to address. The early 1900s was a turbulent time for Ireland, a time in which many groups and individuals were making pushes for an Independent Ireland. Joyce wrote A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in the decade preceding its first publication in 1916. As he matures, Dedalus begins to understand his position in life, and decides to rise above the turbulent Ireland of the early 1900s in a rebellion against society, a struggle against his beliefs and a struggle against his heritage. Like the Dedalus of Greek myth, Stephen must grow wings so that he may fly above the tribulations of his life. The spirit of Ireland is embodied in young Stephen Dedalus, the central character of James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. ![]() You talk to me of nationality, language, religion.
