Key Examples in Paul’s Case

Part 2
Explanation and Analysis:

Cather's writing in "Paul's Case" is stylistically dense with imagery, metaphor, and motif. This heightened method of writing is emblematic of the dream state in which Paul lives most of his life. The prospect of mundanity is horrific to him, ultimately driving him to take his own life, so the words Cather uses to tell the story must mirror Paul's craving for elevation.
