The two sentences listed above characterize Paul as a superstitious person. A superstitious person is a person who strongly believes in irrational things (for example, a belief in magic). Common superstitions include:
- if you break a mirror, you will have bad luck for seven years
- if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck awaits you
- if you open an umbrella inside your house, you will have bad luck, etc.
Paul, in these sentences, is presented as someone who believes that broken-horse shoes, cross-eyed woman, number thirteen, or his hat on the bed announce that bad things will happen. All of these examples suggest that Paul is a superstitious person.
