Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Overview… a struggling writer who’s just moved to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In fact, he’s moved into the same brownstone as the peculiar and bohemian Holly Golightly. Paul hasn’t had anything published since his book of short stories five years ago. It’s all right, though, because his “decorator” Emily Eustace “2E” Failenson is willing to pay his rent in exchange for his companionship. Yet Paul is captivated by Holly, which could put his comfortable arrangement in jeopardy.

Personality… fun-loving, but guarded. Paul starts to open up to the curiosities of the city as Holly guides him through her hijinks, from meeting the mob to chasing down her cat. He’s careful about believing too much in others or himself, although for Holly, he might just start to believe a little.
