Paul's was a bad case but I don't believe it was a case of homosexuality. Paul never acted in ways that I associate to being gay. Throughout the reading Paul showed signs of mental instability. Always feeling watched was a sign that Paul was not quite right. Paul never felt like he belonged unless he was surrounded by an exotic lifestyle with high-class citizens. In some way Paul related to them. It was Paul's only escape from ordinary life and yet it was taken from him. His father should've realized that Paul's mental stability relied upon his after school activities and tried everything to keep him working. The only thing he truly loved was destroyed by the life he viciously hated. Paul knew there was no getting it

With time all his lies added up and caused Paul more pressure. Everyday became harder for Paul to handle but with the help of his job he could manage.

Paul had major problems. It may have been that he placed too little value on life or too much and he didn't want to waste a minute. I believe Paul took his own life because a major part of his life was taken from him. Paul couldn't handle that and if pushed him to the breaking point. With his inferiority complex there was no al
