James Joyce: Dubliners; A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Description: James Joyce: Dubliners James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist, poet and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. WikipediaBorn: February 2, 1882, Rathgar, Dublin, IrelandDied: January 13, 1941 (age 58 years), Zürich, SwitzerlandGrandchild: Stephen James JoyceGrandparents: Ellen Joyce, James JoyceNephew: James JoyceInfluenced: Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett, William Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. [1] It presents a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life.What is the main theme of Dubliners?The main theme of Dubliners is paralysis (metaphorical paralysis, not literal paralysis). In the Dubliners by James Joyce summary, each story features a different main character and a different plot, but all of the stories seem to involve paralysis. This means that the characters in the stories tend to be stagnant, rather than taking action. Sometimes, a character may be too indecisive to act, and other times, a character may talk themselves out of acting.Why did Joyce write Dubliners?Joyce wrote Dubliners in order to make a comment about the Irish identity at the time. He thought a lot of people were experiencing the type of paralysis, or inertia, that he portrayed in his characters. He did not think the way forward to a new Irish identity was through this type of paralysis. If there is one thing that seems to have potential to cure paralysis in Joyce's stories, it is epiphany. James Joyce: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to blossom fully into themselves.
