%X The article discusses upbringing in Jesuit schools in Ireland at the turn of the XIXth and XXth centuries, as portrayed by James Joyce in his novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. However, the article does not attempt to answer the question whether Joyce accurately represented the Jesuit school model, but rather to discuss how a future poet – Stefan Dedalus – functioned within this system. As an exceptionally sensitive boy, he had trouble navigating a religious school which was founded upon the assumption of human wickedness and whose goal was eternal salvation after death.
