His parents managed to scrape together enough money to send their talented son to the Clongowes Wood College, a prestigious boarding school, and then to the less-expensive Belvedere College, where Joyce excelled as an actor and a writer.
Like Joyce himself, Stephen is the son of an impoverished father and a highly Catholic mother; like Joyce, he attends Clongowes Wood, Belvedere, and University College, and like him, he struggles with questions of faith and nationality before leaving Ireland to make his own way as an artist.
