English Abstract thoughts emerge, how does the young Stephen suffer from a conflict between his inner query and external commitment? And how has his world of faith fallen into a paralyzed condition under the influence of such a conflict? After Stephen enters into his early manhood, what kind of political concern has taken shape in his mind? And how has he showed an appeal for transcendental faith through his artistic ideal? To be specific, the first chapter is about the Stephen ‘s idolatrous faith in his childhood. Lack of rational thoughts, Stephen in this part is too young to know much about the world. Influenced by the indoctrination from family and college education, Stephen passively accepts Catholic tenets and rituals and hence loses himself in idolatrous faith. The second chapter focuses on Stephen ‘s paralyzed faith in his youth. Under the constant oppression of Catholic authorities, Stephen ‘s rational thoughts have gradually emerged. Nevertheless, with a failure to eliminate inner conflicts, Stephen falls into a depth of paralyzed faith in compliance with the tradition. At last, the third chapter is concerned with Stephen‘s transcendental faith in early manhood. After awakening Stephen in early manhood begins to reflect on the limited tradition in a trans-rational way and starts a journey of seeking for the ultimate faith. Based on the above analysis, the conclusion replies the questions and further manifests that through the change in the hero ‘s state of faith, the tension between the religious tradition and the modern society well unfolds in the work.
