Detailed explanation-1: -Stephen defines art as, “the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for an esthetic end” (182).
Detailed explanation-2: -His paternal issues begin immediately, but are most fully developed in the scenes with Simon Dedalus in Cork. Stephen is frustrated with his father because of his formative influence, and is struggling against his father to be the writer of his own story.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stephen seems to have an uncomfortable relationship with his father. Stephen has developed a psychological distance from his father: An abyss of fortune or of temperament sundered him [Stephen] from them [his father and his father’s companions].
Detailed explanation-4: -Stephen chooses exile from his native land mainly because of his growing disenchantment with Irish society on many levels. Indeed, his final decision to fly the nets which are impeding his development as an artist is achieved following a series of struggles with authority from which he ultimately decides to flee.
