page 84
The searchlights came on. Hundreds of SS appeared out of the darkness, accompanied by police dogs. The snow continued to fall.
The gates of the camp opened. It seemed as though an even darker night was waiting for us on the other side.
This passage shows symbolism. The word "night" represents death and the unknown. Night always occurred when they would suffer a lot. When it says "It seemed as though an even darker night was waiting for us on the other side," it kinda foreshadows that something bad is going to happen later on.

I'm so glad you brought this up! The word, 'Night' has come up a lot during this book but, I took it literally, as in, it's dark out, but I never thought that it meant something.
ReplyDeleteSame here! I never really analyzed it like you have, it's a good thing we have a passage picker to help us see the things we haven't seen before!
