Stephen has grown up to be a fetishist. After his mother died, he often' thinks much of his beloved mother, whose belongings are described fetishistic. But his super-ego is blaming his conscience, and here necessarily transference is raised. In the National Library Stephen is making a speech about his argument of Shakespeare in the presence of famous literary scholars. We can find many examples of fetish, while he explains his idea quoting from Shakespeare's works. He thinks that Ann Hathaway, Shakespeare's wife, is not virtuous, and Hamlet's mother is not either. Stephen tries to identify his own mother with either of them, so that he may unconsciously get rid of his mental distress.
