James Joyce Paper
James Joyce seems to include parts of himself in all of his writings. ... Both Joyce and his character liked to punish themselves by thinking about the loves of their lives and their pasts. ... In his novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyces main character Steven seems to be a spin off of Joyce himself. ... It seems the emotion that Stephen expresses throughout the novel is actually Joyce himself and how he felt going through his own life. The fact that Stephen goes through childhood as an Irish Catholic, not being interested in his heritage and wanting to leave and see what else the world had to offer, is in effect what Joyce did in real life. ... Joyce also loved to write, and in his writing he said things that were not yet written in books of his time.
