    Well my personal favorite passage is after Latin Class, when Stephen has been punished and he goes to talk to the rectory to talk about Father Dolan's punishment. Its the first time that Stephen feels like he belongs, and he actually gets that people can be judged wrongly, before he only believed that authority figures were always right. For me, it evokes the first time i was wrongly punished at school, and i realized that teachers and parents aren't gods who know all, but rather that they can make mistakes.
