James Joyce`s art exemplifies in large part the aesthetic theory developed in the last chapter of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the theory of Shakespeare demonstrated in the "Scylla and Charybdis" episode of Ulysses. In A Portrait Stephen Dedalus(Joyce) describes the gradual loosening of the bonds that held him captive in his youth. He frees himself from his family, his country, and from the church, to which he owes his education. His aim is the unfettered freedom and autonomy of the artist. In Ulysses Stephen is placed in an entirely different situation. There he is introduced as a writer whose creative enthusiasm has dissipated and who has thus far not produced any work of importance. As he composes his theory of Shakespeare in the "Scylla and Charybdis" episode of the novel, Stephen needs to recreate or reinvent the life of Shakespeare to fit his own personal and artistic struggle and interpret Hamlet accordingly. Stephen sees in Shakespeare, as it were, a spiritual father, and he attempts to illuminate his own life through reflection on a reconstruction of Shakespeare`s life. At the same time the opposite process occurs; Stephen projects his own experiences into the reconstructed life of Shakespeare and tries on the basis of this to interpret Shakespeare`s work. By rewriting Shakespeare`s life and work in this way, Stephen justifies his artistic aim. Contrary to Stephen, who is still searching, the writer Joyce has succeeded in finding a synthesis between the two extreme artistic directions which we have named the aesthetic and the biographical. Joyce`s Ulysses rests on the stable foundation of his biography; the environment, the real world, in which Joyce grew up and which formed his mind as well as his artistic sensibility is realized even in the smallest topographical detail. His work also shows in how much detail the characters recall those persons whom he actually encountered in Dublin. By reshaping this material aesthetically, Joyce makes his fiction a harmonious and radiant wholeness. Through the month of Stephen, Joyce also develops the embryologic theory of artistic creation in the "Oxen of the Sun" episode of Ulysses. According to Joyce, "Oxen of the Sun" is a nineparted episode without divisions: in this episode, the progression of the chronicle style in English prose is linked with the natural stages of development in the embryo. Therefore, Ulysses as well as "Oxen of the Sun" is written by the word which was made flesh in woman`s womb. Joyce, through applying this artistic theory to his fiction writing by various narrative techniques and artistic strategies, captures the organized composite structure of Ulysses which creates an internal unity.
