Answer 2

Answer:

Limited third person.

Explanation:

'A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man' by James Joyce employs the third person 'stream of consciousness' technique and this passage specifically illustrates the limited third-person point of view as the readers can only witness the thoughts and feelings of one particular character i.e. "Stephen" who is the protagonist of the text. It provides the readers an insight into the psyche of that particular character usually the protagonist and assists them to know his/her perspectives, opinions, thoughts, etc. and permits them to relate and connect to him/her.
