Question

What does Hitler shout to the audience watching the imaginary fight?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hitler shouts that Max will infiltrate into their society, take the jobs, and get rich on their account. He calls the audience to action against Max and asks them all to come into the ring and fight Max together.

Explanation:

In the novel “The Book Thief” Max is fantasizing about fighting Hitler. During the fight, Hitler would start shouting to the audience how sinister Max is. In Hitler’s words, he would move in, infest family, and take over the jobs from others. Others would have to work for him, while Max would fill his pockets on their account.

Hitler would then call the audience for an action, to climb to the ring and fight against Max with him so they would “defeat this enemy together”.

This imaginary fight is reflecting Nazi Germany and the attitude towards Germans – Hitler would tell the tales of Jewish people (who Max symbolizes) and call others to action against the danger. Max could defeat Hitler by himself, but when the whole country joined him, he would be powerless and hunted down.
