I do not like the way this story was written. You seem to be lost most of the time from the beginning. My first thoughts were. In that time where women just blind idiots? Could they not do anything by themselves? Where they so fragile that they had to be looked after? This was the first part of the story.
From the line half way down the page on 1136 it says “she came to me and, putting her hands over my eyes, gently drew my head back upon her shoulder, saying tremulously, “Don’t love it so well, Clark, or it may be taken away from you.” From this point on I could understand her timidness and reservation. It seems that she loved it so much at one time that she couldn’t get enough. But then she fell in love and moved to where these things where not as common to people like her husband who had no money for such frivolous things. She had to love them in her mind and memories.

Paul’s Case is a likable story, however kind of dull. You can tell that the author like the music and art world and likes to add it to her stories.
This is how I felt reading the beginning of the story:
Seems that the theme in this story is still going on today in schools. The teachers talk about not judging a book by its cover, but what they actually do is just that. Maybe they should get to the root of why he does some of the things that he does. If they just took the time to get to know him they would see what they think is inappropriate he see’s as common place.
But then it kind of lost me, it didn’t matter how many times I read it, it just didn’t make since. But it was apparent that Paul loved the music and the art and wanted to live in that world. I don’t think that steal was the best way to go about it but what can you say. Then killing himself that seemed kind of odd just for stealing. Maybe that’s just me. Like I said it lost me.
