.... so harsh at breaking the spirits of the Jews.
Elie's faith in God, above all other things, is strong at the beginning of the novel, but grows weaker as time goes on. On the day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, thousands of men came to attend services. Thousands of voices repeated, "Blessed be the Name of the Eternal!"

The Sheltering Sky

Ejxenbaum sums up this idea with, “The particular attention paid to the unexpected in the finale and, connected with it, a story structured on the basis of a riddle or and error which holds back the significance of the plot mainspring until the very end.” The effect cannot exist without the plot, and the plot cannot exist without the effect.
