Better Late than Never (Ch. 4)

In this chapter, I noticed a stronger shift in Eliezer's character. He was no longer as worried for others, including his father, as he was for himself. Earlier on in the book it seemed as though Eliezer was quite sensitive to what was going on around him. Then, in chapter 4, when his father was being beaten by Idek he was not mad at Idek for being so inhumane, rather, he was frustrated with his father for not avoiding Idek and his wrath. When Eliezer entered the concentration camp he was engulfed by inhumane acts, and after being surrounded by them for so long, he began to be desensitized by it, and he himself became inhumane.

  1. I would say that he didn't become inhuman as he is writing the book with emotions. I would say that he is just became less prone to show his emotions
