Analysis of Chapter V Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce Interpreted by Sarah Allen and Carolyn Caggia

Questions Can excrement or a child or a louse be a work of art? If a man hacking in fury at a block of wood make there an image of a cow, is that image a work of art?

James Joyce: Life James Augustine Aloysius Joyce February 2nd, 1882 – January 13th, 1941 Ireland Ulysses Stream of Consciousness

James Joyce: Dublin Capital of Ireland Birth city Clongowes, Belvedere, and University College Dublin Central theme (unhealthy obsession?)

Ireland (1882-1941) HOME RULE Parnell Catholics vs. Protestants

Europe (1882-1941) Aristotle Aquinas Lessing St. Stephen the Martyr John the Baptist

Chapter V: A Quick Summary Years have passed and Stephen is attending university. His separation and independence from his family become evident. Stephen becomes increasingly interested in Aristotle’s Poetics and the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. He meets Emma again. Stephen decides to leave Ireland, and the novel closes in first-person as a journal.

Stephen’s all grown up! Moved from sensuality and unfocused desire to a methodical, scientific approach to seeing beauty. Stephen has changed Becomes aware that Ireland is a trap Separated from his family Grows intellectually at university Begins to see women as more than just objects or ideas of beauty which he cannot ever attain. Paradoxically, he leaves Ireland for freedom.

Symbols: Birds "When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets." -Pg. 220 At the beginning of 5.3, Stephen sees birds but is unable to identify them (Pg. 243) These birds leave and then return

Aesthetics: Definition noun (plural) /esˈTHetiks/ 1. A set of principles concerned with the nature and appreciation of beauty, esp. in art 2. The branch of philosophy that deals with the principles of beauty and artistic taste

Aesthetics: Pity and Terror "Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer." Terror: "Terror is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with a secret cause." Pg. 221

Aesthetics: Static and Kinetic Art Esthetic emotion The mind is arrested and raised above desire and loathing Ideal pity or ideal terror Kinetic: Pornography and didactic art Improper arts Arts that excite kinetic emotions Desire: urges to possess or go to something Loathing: urges to abandon or go from something

Aesthetics: Inferior and Superior Art Does not present the forms (lyrical, epical, and dramatic) as clearly distinguished from one another Pornographic and didactic art Superior: Literature is the highest and most spiritual form of art Makes you feel stasis

Aesthetics: Lyrical and Epic Forms The simplest verbal vesture of an instant of emotion A rhythmical cry that might cheer on a man at grueling toil Stresses the instant of emotion rather than the feeling of emotion Epic: Separates from lyrical when the artist prolongs and broods upon himself as the center of an epical event The narrative is no longer purely personal

Integritas, Consonantia, and Claritas Wholeness, Harmony, and Radiance Needed for beauty

Elements of Tragedy

Tragedy A tragic play involves a hero suffering misfortune. Considered the opposite of comedy.

Aristotle’s Definition of Tragedy “A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself; in appropriate and pleasurable language;… in a dramatic rather than narrative form; with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish a catharsis of these emotions.”

Basically… A tragedy deals with one issue and is serious. Ex. Death. (not breaking a fingernail.) Has a chorus which is easy to understand. Greek tragedies had a chorus whose role was to comment on the play. Like little narrators. The play is acted out, not told like a story. The events should make the audience feel sorry for the main character. The audience should fear for the hero as he or she moves towards a downfall. The catharsis occurs when the hero falls flat on his/her face and realizes mistakes when the audience can finally let out their breath.

A History of Theater Greek drama started to honor the gods. Thespis became known as the first actor when he stepped of a chorus to speak to them. Sophocles (b. 496 BC)was one of the first great dramatists. He wrote many plays but only seven survive today. His tragic plays influenced Aristotle’s analysis of tragedy.

So Who is Aristotle?

Aristotle’s Definition of a Tragic Hero Comes from nobility Tragic flaw or hamartia (caused by a simple mistake or character flaw- such as excessive pride or hubris) Undergoes a reversal of fortune (falls from high to low). Most have these elements: Catastrophe: Change of fortune Perepiteia: Reversal of intention Anagnorisis: Recognition of catastrophe after perepiteia Has a downfall Recognizes mistakes (in a catharsis or purging of fear)

Play Structure Exposition Rising Action Climax Falling Action Resolution

Aristotle’s Six Elements of Drama Plot (incidents, storyline) Character (people, ideas, etc. represented in the play) Thought/Theme (insights into humanity and life) Music (sound) Spectacle (scenery and other visual elements) Diction/Language (dialogue or poetry)
