Psychology
Paul Paul looks to be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, his inability to tell the real from the imagined leads him to take up such erratic behaviour as running to work instead of driving. He does this because he wholly believes that he has KGB agents after him. Probably the strangest part of his behaviour is his belief that the agents emit ‘electromagnetic signals’. Two of the aspects of this disorder are the belief that ‘they are out to get me’ and that he thinks he is the ‘saviour of the planet’. Paul clearly displays both aspects. The Schizophrenia leads to the deterioration of his relationships and is shown by Paul believing that his ‘audio-trometer’ picked up the message that his wife is a KGB agent.
