exceptional abilities. Todd is unwilling to speak

narrator's description of his fanciful images of
objects, such as his parents' tombstones: "The
shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an

old conventions of thought and custom and finally
realize a unique perception of the world. In the

Man, Joyce portrays the young Stephen Dedalus as
an insecure and confused young man. Throughout his

Hidden Politics: The Impact of Politics in The
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man By Elisabeth
