    dis question can ve multiple answers. Paul learns bout himself thru Clara. Clara realises her fault thru Paul. I feel Paul was not selfish rathr confused wit his attraction 2wards Clara

    I felt the whole relationship was mutual. Actually one might make the case that Clara was using Paul after her husband broke up with her.

    I don't think Paul was mean moreso than apathetic because she could not complement him the way he desired. Clara satisfied Paul's physical longings, but couldn't reach him in other ways.

    I do not think Paul was any more mean then Clara was, I think in someways they were euqally mean to each other, and equally used each other. Niether one of them seems to know what they truly want.

    Maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on situations.
