"...for a country is considered the more civilized the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak or a powerful one too powerful." -Pg. 88
"...one hesitates to call their death death, in the face of which they have no fear, as they are too tired to understand." -Pg. 90
"...to insanity and to deceitful bestiality. All the other roads are dead-ends."
-Pg. 98
Primo is saying a wise man is the most powerful character of the weak and the powerful. Since wisdom can control the weak and the power it prevents from being too weak or too powerful. He is expressing the feelings toward the SS, weak prisoners, and strong prisoners. When one hesitates to call death for their death, Primo is describing some prisoners sick of their life and didn't care if they died or not. All the other roads are dead-ends. Primo Levi is telling the readers that anywhere or whatever you do your life in the Auschwitz would lead to a dead-end.
This Blog is made for Jason and his response of the Book "Survival in the Auschwitz" by Primo Levi
