		Stephen first decides that he cannot be part of the Church and uphold his ideals after he is told that he has the potential to become a priest.
		Stephen’s religious ecstasies are rooted in earthly, and sexual desires; his sense of religion and his spirit is expressed through his worldly longing of the flesh.
		Stephen rejects all forms of religion available to him (apparently just Protestantism): “What kind of liberation would that be to forsake an absurdity which is logical and coherent and to embrace one which is illogical and incoherent”(235).

	Joycean: James Joyce » Essays
		Central to the experiences of Stephen's life are, of course, the people with whom he interacts, and of primary importance among these people are women, who, as his story progresses, prove to be a driving force behind Stephen's art.
		Stephen also displays his growing knowledge of the differences between men and women when he observes that she has "long thin cool white hands too because she [is] a girl" (286).
		Stephen's understanding of the woman's role in this process changes from one in which women's actions themselves are inspiration to one in which female figures are the external deliverers of inspiration, and finally to one in which he internalizes completely their role as mediators between experience and art.

	The Ampersand \| essay by Michael R. Allen
		Stephen’s sensibility is shown as a prelude to a writer’s life not seen at the book’s end, while Tristram’s “life and opinions” are a remembrance of one who is writing.
		Stephen’s life is the story of a boy different from as well as indifferent toward his fellow humans.
		What Stephen and Tristram do in constructing a writer/poet dichotomy is to suggest that the influence of the world outside of the writer is an obstacle to the beauty of art, and that the artist cannot afford participation in society.
