The most tragic part in Paul's story is that before deciding on putting an end to his life, Paul is able to reach the second level, but not the final one.

'Paul's Case' is a tragic story of a boy who is so different from the rest of the crowd that he is unable to satisfy the expectations of people around him.

Paul is surrounded by teachers who have an endless list of unacceptable behavior on Paul's part and a father who expects much more than Paul is ready to give. Paul tries to fit in, to some extent, by putting up pretence when he is confronted by his teachers and father. The only time he is not pretending is when he is ushering at Carnegie Hall. At a later stage, Paul is forced by his teachers to quit school and father restrains him from visiting Carnegie Hall. Paul works at Denny and Carson's office for a while and on finding an opportunity to cheat them off some money, he flees to New York hoping to attain all that he never had but always craved for. On realizing he could never make it in this world and never be able to get rid of his past life, he makes a drastic and extreme decision. Paul ends his life by jumping in front of a moving train. Just before he is hit by the train, his mind is filled with thoughts of things he had left undone.

The story of Paul constantly haunted my mind after I had read it.
