How Supernatural Events Define Paulie's Character In The Sopranos

The cat is Adriana. She was wearing cat prints when she died while crawling on all fours. She's still in love with Chrissy, and she now catches rats at Satriale's out of guilt for being one in life.

Also important: the Virgin Mary appears to Paulie on the pole dancing stage. A figure of innocence and motherhood on the stage of sin and strippers. Definitely some symbolism there.

Pussy resembles Tony quite a lot in Paulie´s dream, especially in the posture. It almost feels likes Pussy´s head´s on top of Tony´s body. Which to me, just gives that little extra feeling of unease, exactly how a dream sequence should feel. The simbolism it´s not that difficult to crack, but you´ll probably need one or two more views to get there, and i just love that level of commitment to detail the showrunners consistently showcased throughout the whole of the series.

I always saw Paulie turning down the captaincy as a survival thing. I think he knew the Soprano "family" was on its way out, and he didn't want to be part of "management" when their time comes.

Maybe but it was deeper than that because it was shown the physic was real

[@Marcus007]

@@thetechlibrarian Good point and I agree with you in part - Chase went further - but I think it started with his wanting to represent that aspect of the culture. Actually, I think Chase went too far in that - to your point - there is really no other explanation for the psychic's statements other than he was really speaking to the other side. I think it would have been better if Chase showed the superstitious mind in action - where the psychic says something that is both ambiguous but also insightful and we see Paulie's psychology read into it - like Chase did with the cat and even Mary in the club. Ultimately though, I don't think Chase was trying to say anything deeper about the series other than exploring Paulie's character. So I dismiss the 3 o'clock stuff etc as being meaningful. But I am a firm believer that Tony did not die in the end - based on Van Zandt's revelation that he persuaded Chase not to have him die in the finale in the event Chase ever rebooted the series. If Tony was dead in Chase's mind - the reboot would not be an option...

Paulie's superstitions...moreover, the Italian superstitions. The sacred and the propane. We see this in the final scene of "Cleaver", where a cornuto and a rosary is hanging from the rearview mirror. Jesus is watching your back. But if all else fails, the cornuto steps in to ward off the mallochio. We see how Tony struggles with the imagery that appears in his dreams throughout the series. His subconscious is warning him of impending doom. Christopher sees these images too, while in a coma. It's their guilt that leads them to create these prophetic warnings. (the beacon seen from Tony's hotel room window). Paulie imagines the Virgin Mary. Not the actual Virgin Mary, but a statue of a Virgin Mary as depicted by an artist/sculptor. The ones Paulie has seen his whole life, going to Sunday services. So, in effect, his subconscious created that memory at the Bing.

[@lijunasuguerra6424]

You left out that at virgin mary scene. It only shows at split second. Im streaming it so I could go back and see a real glimpse of what it was but if youre watching it on TV just like the old days itll be more spookier. and the fact that that jumpscare came from The Sopranos.

[@NotQuiteFirst]

Another episode which takes an _oblique_ look at Paulie's spiritual side is Pine Barrens. It's done subtly, but the whole episode is packed with religious/Catholic imagery. Basically the story of Paulie, Chris, & Valery works as an allegory for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Valery represents Jesus, who is "killed" by Roman soldiers, goes into the tomb (trunk of the car) only to be found "resurrected". He then vanishes into thin air seemingly impossibly (he has ascended to heaven). It sounds a bit silly on the surface, but there are many details peppered throughout the episode which tie it all together. Paulie and Chris spend the night lost in the wilderness, which represents Paulie being spiritually lost as he wanders through life without any real purpose. There's a post on the Sopranos subreddit called "Valery is Jesus" which goes through all the details.

Tony Supernatural: Remember, the guy would have panic attacks, pass out, faint and he'd get dizzy and get on medication...the dreams were really more open after this in Tony Soprano's character -- he would tell the psychiatrist about his dreams, get into his nervous energy through his mother and how she'd gnaw at his mind and discredit him which was akin to his friends discrediting him in business and all the crap he had to deal with -- same difference.... So Tony Soprano dealing with the supernatural, he was always there, which is why he was both perceptive and logical being able to see through the cracks, even when he didn't get shot. Paulie: Paulie was funny and I wish they would have went into the supernatural more with Paulie, this guy was really freaked out by the signs and situations that followed his life -- he had this blind innocence concerning his life in what really happened vs. what he did for a living, always knowing good things would happen for him in the afterlife.

As a Catholic I question this myself. How do criminals who murder claim to be faithful Catholics and Christians? You see that in many movies like The Godfather, but you also see in in real life with many obvious evil people having crosses around their neck or tattoos of Jesus and/or Mary.

American Evangelicals disturb me even more. Supposedly they read the bible regularly, but they are constantly engaging in the behavior that Jesus condemns as false faith that is an offense to God.

Good luck shaking the cult. I mean it. I got out at 10, but the circumstances were grim and left a lot of scars. Literally.

The supernatural way works is amazing. You can't just have a drama about mafia if characters are sentient molecules. Humans are more than just animals, they can be both holy and evil.
