The Portrait of the Big Question

Once again, we have read yet another book called The Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man. Personally, the book didn't grab my attention and I didn't like it very much. But it did deal with my big question. 

In the book,  the character of Stephen goes through many trials and tribulations in order for him to find his soul. He goes through many lessons and goes against the social norm to find his soul. Going against what is expected takes a lot of bravery and Stephen was doing what he believed was right. He wanted to discover who he really was and that meant being unique and individual. 

He believed it was the right thing to do to be individual while everyone else was being conformed and without minds. Stephen had to have a lot of bravery to do what was right when everyone else was not in order to find his soul.
