As he grows he is torn between the rigid expectations of faith family and country and the intoxicating call of artistic freedom. Every choice he makes pushes him closer to either devotion or defiance shaping the man he will become. With language as his weapon and vision as his guide he sets out to carve his own identity no matter the cost.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Revolutionary in style and deeply personal in theme </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> redefined modern literature. Joyce's innovative use of stream-of-consciousness and free indirect discourse gave readers a raw intimate view of a mind in formation. The novel challenged traditional storytelling paving the way for Ulysses and shaping the course of 20th-century fiction. More than just a coming-of-age tale it captured the struggle for artistic and intellectual freedom in a rapidly changing Ireland.</span></p>
