Paul's Case
The theme, displayed in public domain
Setting
Point of View
We get everything nearly strictly from his perspective. Occasionally getting outside commentary from other characters, but through the film of Peter's opinions
Characterization
Here it is that he is slowly getting worn down, and exposed to the harshness he perceives, leading to structural integrity issues, on the human perspective this is the emotional issues he goes through, before he cracks (suicide).
Symbolism
Theme
His refuge is in art, and not in people.
He needs money to have art, but doesn't want to suffer the soul grinding monotony of day to day life, just living in his artistic appreciation. However, the hold is too strong, and it kills him.
