Essay #5- Paul

I decided to do my character analysis on Paul Edgecomb. I know that mostly everyone is going to pick that character, but probably because he is one of the main ones. I picked Paul because the way that his life was affected by John Coffey made the whole plot of the movie. I chose Paul because it is easy to tell how he is most affected when Coffey shows up to the mile. Paul is the first to find out about Coffey’s power to heal. The movie starts off with Paul and his urinary issues, but as Coffey moves into the mile, not only Paul’s, but everyone’s lives get affected by just one person. I will be basically writing about how Paul’s life is influenced by all the good that Coffey has done. As Paul continues to get to know Coffey, the guards and the cellmates become influenced. Paul goes through many conflicts attempting to help Coffey, such as Percy and his lack of sympathy, and Wild Bill and his mental disabilities. Writing about the conflicts and resolutions of Paul, will in fact be easy, since the whole movie revolves around Paul. I will be mentioning how Coffey is a spiritual example and Paul is guided through his life, even though he is cursed to live a long life without his loved ones.
This should be an easy essay for a final, but it will be difficult to explain specific events of Paul’s life and how they are affected.
