What ultimately happened in Stephen’s life when he was unjustly caned by Father Dolan ? [British Novel June 2019]

    When Stephen was unjustly caned by Father Dolan for not completing his lesson due to his broken glasses, he went to Father Conmee to object and make known that he was wronged. Father Conmee proves to be very sympathetic and assures Stephen that he will take care of the matter [6]. Father Conmee promises to talk to Father Dolan about it, and sends Stephen on his way. When Stephen goes out to the playground, his friends surround him, eager for news. He tells them what happened and they hoist him up in the air, yelling out with joy [4]. After this incident, Stephen continues his journey in the novel, which covers his childhood and adolescence as he grows from a little boy to a young adult, with themes of guilt, sin, religion, and identity [3].
