Is Paul a static character or a dynamic one? If you find him changing anddeveloping in the course of the story, can you indicate what changes him?

What will be an ideal response?



  • The only change in Paul’s character during the story seems to be the fairly minor one mentioned in paragraphs 42–43. Once settled in at the Waldorf, he realizes he is no longer “dreading something.” Is this change enough to justify our calling him a dynamic character? The change seems to signal in Paul a deepening involvement in an unreal world rather than any growth. We think he’s a static character. His perceptions and values, and the actions that follow from them, remain unchanged.
