Paul’s Case
”
Paul’s Case” by Willa Cather is a short story about a young man who is not suited with the life style he lives. He feels like he was born to do something more- and be some one else. He ignores reality as it really is and only see’s the things he wants. His uncaring father and teachers hammer him down with his illusions, but they only push him to want them more. When he finally accomplishes the reality that he wanted for so long, he realizes that it’s momentary- like all good things in life, and he never wants it to end. He never wanted to awaken from his dream, so he killed himself.
