"He is as helpless and vulnerable as a new-born baby, but the following morning he will still have to march to work." Pg. 57
"I always saw, and still see in him, the rare figure of the strong yet peace-lobing man against whom the weapons of night are blunted." Pg. 57
"Nevertheless I am so tired and stunned that I, too, soon fall asleep, and I seem to be sleeping on the tracks of a railroad." Pg. 59
"The sores on my feet reopen at once, and a new day begins." Pg.64
Primo Levi is now tired of waiting for hope and faith. His trust with God slowly fades away. Primo Levi shows that even a new-born baby would have been on work in Auschwitz. The SS would have no soul or mercy over the Jewish people but to give harsh punishments. Primo met new friends and he noticed a special friend named Alberto and Primo Levi senses the peace-loving man against whom the weapons of night are blunted which means that when people are getting killed and murdered, Alberto has no effect on the evil acts. It is significant because in the dark and disastrous life, Alberto is ingenious by evil and death which gave hope and trust to Primo. After Primo Levi is back from work, he is so tired and timorous that when he is sleeping he feels like sleeping on the tracks of a railroad. Nevertheless, I would have felt the same way as Primo Levi lying on the tracks waiting for the train to squash me. The hard work is repeated day after day and as the sores reopen as the new day begins shows that the shoes were useless as Primo begins to rot in prison.
