The Relations between Literature and Psychoanalysis
many problems in the early period of school. He got homesick very often. He had only few friends.
Clongowes School was very strict in its discipline. No students were allowed neither to make mistake nor to break the rules. When there was any, the
students would be punished by the prefect of the school. Stephen had also had the experiences of being punished even though he had not broken any rules.
Therefore, Stephen was a very quiet student who never protested. In a school break after some years passed in Clongowes, Stephen came
back home for a holiday. He found that his family was having a financial problem that finally forced him to stop schooling in Clongowes. He could not go back to
that school. Stephen was moved by his father to another cheaper school called Belvedere.
Stephen experienced some new things. He made his first sexual intercourse with a prostitute. He experienced the time when he paid not of any
attention to his religious life. He met more prostitutes as ignoring his religion values. In the end, Stephen felt very guilty. He was very sorry for what he had
done and finally he decided to be more concerned with his Christian values. Stephen continued to study in a university. In this period of school,
Stephen started to discuss deeply and extrovertly his ideological and political point of view with his fellows. Another significant change that happened in this
stage was that he set himself free from many limitation and pressure he was previously under. Religion, which once he had left and then he came back after,
had become trivia. He concerned no more with it. He had desire to be an artist by doing writing. He enlarged his chance to follow his dream more and more.
Finally, he decided to leave England and became free to do what he loved in his life.
