Summary and Analysis Part 6: The Dream Carrier: Death’s Diary: 1942

Analysis

This chapter serves to humanize, and characterize, Death. Death provides more commentary on his feelings toward humans and how these catastrophic events do, in fact, affect him. He also brings up the theme of lightness and darkness through his example of Liesel, how there are sometimes beautiful stories like hers hidden amongst all of the destruction and sadness he has witnessed.
