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

Analysis

This chapter shows the human side of Death, how he feels sadness for the work he has to do but understands that it is his job and he must do it. This chapter also illustrates the magnitude of the Holocaust, how the killings are picking up pace. Death sees so many dead Jewish bodies that they turn into a color for him, something so large and expansive that it overwhelms the sky.
