Summary

The chapter examines A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man through the theory elaborated thus far. It reads Father Arnall’s sermon, Stephen’s account in the anatomy theatre, and Davin’s story from the Ballyhoura Hills as Joyce’s deepening and increasingly complex work on the challenges of the Loyolan Posiiton. These readings move towards a new understanding of the strange narrative apparatus of Portrait, an understanding rooted in both Loyola’s theology and Klein’s psychoanalysis.
