Aristotle wrote the ideal qualities in order to form the “perfect tragedy.” Many people argue today that Aristotle’s criteria for a perfect tragedy cannot be met, due to the fact that it is contradictory.

In The Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne, the story is told through the eyes of a child. This is very effective because we see the story as it is. There are no opinions or background information in the story, it is simply a series of events. And when we look through a child’s eyes, the story seems to soften and sift. Bruno is a very innocent and naïve, young boy, who is oblivious of the harsh truth of what is really going on around him.

The Boy in The Striped Pajamas is a novel that explores such themes that make characters who they are. In the particular theme of human nature, this book delves into the ways of thinking, acting, and traits the characters as human share. This can be shown through Mother, who is forced to go along with whatever Father says and be nothing more than a mere housewife, but it is her nature to act out and do what she believes is right. Gretel succumbs to her Father who she believes is to be worshipped. She acts like him and agrees with whatever he thinks of Jews blindly.

Overall, I feel “The Boy in The Striped Pajamas” is an incredibly powering and touching novel that showed me the reality of how cruel and inhumane immorality and wrongdoing truly is. Other than learning about the true message of the story surrounding equality, I feel the novel made me realize how easy it is to for good or everyday people, like myself, to get involved in such horrific events, and how easy it is to make up excuses for your behavior, and ignore the consequences of what you are doing.

The director I chose to review was Mark Herman. Personally, I think he was a wonderful director I really enjoy watching the movies his movies. He knows exactly how to draw emotions out of you while you’re watching. He knows how to use music to show how you are supposed to feel during that moment. He made it feel like you were right there with them, playing with the children, singing, running, walking beside them.
