I believe that the theme of Paul Bunyan is that a person, in this case a large one, can grow and adjust to have a happy life in spite of his differences. Paul had to move away from people in order to protect them from himself. But, while sad at first, he was able to find his special abilities that were of benefit to many. Though a huge exaggeration, the story of Paul Bunyan is more than entertaining, it is also an example of how differences in people are not bad and that it was a good thing that he cared enough about others to go his own way.
