I would say there are two sides of Bruno's Father. The more obvious side to him is of course, that he is a cruel, sick man who kills innocent Jewish people. He is hungry for power and is a very stubborn man who will do anything he can to come out on top. He has very strong political and religious views about the Jewish people and when Kotler - the books suggests he kills - Pavel, then Father does nothing to stop him from doing so. He does everything he is told by Hitler to become a leader of the Nazi's and he indoctrinates his children by telling them that what he is dong (or what the Nazi's are doing) are the best and that ''Hitler has big things in mind for him''. So this sums him up as a generally crap person.
But there is another side to Father that very few people suggest is true, but it's an option. Maybe Father isn't such a bad person. Maybe he is only doing his job well so he can provide for the family, because if he did not do as he is told by Hitler, then Hitler has the power to do whatever he likes to Father and his family. Maybe he is a good person doing bad things? Maybe he is a bad person with a spark of good inside him? It depends on how you view him throughout the book. The book suggests he isn't a very good lover and husband to Mother, as she is possibly having an affair with Kotler ('sometimes, he is still there when i go to bed, and still there even before i wake up' suggesting that Kotler stayed over the night while Father isn't there) and he doesn't treat Bruno and Gretel as his children, who he loves, but more two people who he is consistently giving them rules and continuously tells them that the Jews 'aren't really like people at all' and that the Nazi's are amazing. But in the last chapter after Bruno has snuck into the concentration camp with Shmuel and has been killed in a gas chamber, we feel sorry for Father. He figures out what Bruno has done and he is taken away by some soldiers, but he doesn't care what they do to him any more (kinky ;)). I have a mixed view of Father, but I got an assessment on this tomorrow -_-.
Sorry this answer is so long winded :L x
What else can I help you with?
Is there any irony in the book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?
Yeah, that the Nazi father gets his son Bruno killed when he thought only the Jews would die. He got owned.
What is a hyperbole in the boy in the striped pajamas?
SPOILER WARNING!At the end of the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Bruno's father Ralf appears like a minute after the gas is poured down and everyone in the room is proclaimed dead. In real life, the gas took around 10-20 minutes to kill everyone in the room. (Even if it didn't, the inmates would still be dead due to the Nazis burning the corpses)
How do you think father would react if gretel and Bruno really knew what happened behind the fence in the boy in the striped pajamas?
If Gretel and Bruno truly understood the horrors occurring behind the fence in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," their father would likely react with anger and denial, emphasizing the importance of loyalty to the regime and the need to protect the family's reputation. He might dismiss their concerns and try to shield them from the harsh realities of their situation, reinforcing the idea that ignorance is preferable. Ultimately, he would prioritize his position and obedience over the moral implications of their knowledge.
What 10 questions would you ask john boyne about the book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?
I would ask John Boyne about his inspiration for writing "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," particularly the choice of perspective through a child's eyes. I'd be curious about his thoughts on the symbolism of the striped pajamas and the significance of friendship in the face of adversity. Additionally, I would inquire how he approached the sensitive themes of the Holocaust and innocence in the narrative, and whether he believes the story carries a specific message for modern readers. Finally, I'd like to know how he feels about the book's impact on discussions around history and morality.
