Detailed explanation-1: -As “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” is considered to be an example of Bildungsroman, James Joyce focused on the main character, Stephen Dedalus and told his story by mentioning the changes in his personality as he grew up.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man explores what it means to become an artist. Stephen’s decision at the end of the novel-to leave his family and friends behind and go into exile in order to become an artist-suggests that Joyce sees the artist as a necessarily isolated figure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Structure. A Portrait of the Artist is divided into five chapters. Each chapter deals with a different period in the first twenty years of the central character, Stephen Dedalus. Each also addresses a specific theme related to Stephen’s development as an artist.
