i love this song. and i keep watching this and listening to the song... but from what i have heard and read, McCartney said in 1994 that it merely epitomizes the downfalls of life:
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life. I wanted something symbolic of that, so to me it was some fictitious character called Maxwell with a silver hammer. I don't know why it was silver, it just sounded better than Maxwell's hammer. It was needed for scanning. We still use that expression now when something unexpected happens."
this was taken from a wiki i found. i do not know how creditable it is nor the person who wrote it.
