“You are going to die.” (3) is how Markus Zusak starts off The Book Thief. Before the reader has even finished the first page, Zusak has used foreshadowing.

In the case of Edgar Sawtelle, Edgar believes his father was murdered by his own uncle, Claude, but has trouble proving this because of lack of evidence. Throughout the novel, Edgar tried to prove his uncle guilty after first suspecting he was the murderer by following up on his uncle and trying to spark a reaction by recreating the scene. To express his theme, Wroblewski’s novel, was an allusion to the Broadway show Hamlet. Not only does he base most of his characters names off of the play, but he also has a very similar plot. Hamlet’s plot was also about a boy’s father who had died and had suspected there was foul play involved between his father and his uncle after being approached by a mysterious ghost. By making his novel an allusion to Hamlet, this further expresses his theme by giving the readers an outside source to further their understanding about the plot. Another main literary feature used in this novel to express revenge and the goal of getting justice was shown by using foreshadowing. Between the bickering and the arguing of his father Gar and Claude, and the sudden death of Gar, it wasn’t too hard to predict who had done it. The reader would likely get a sense of what was going to happen and how it…

Literature is better able to accomplish this by utilizing the power of the human imagination. Even more than this literature has the ability to describe human emotion through the use of strong metaphors and colorful language. It is this technique of writing that remains unique to literature. Even film…
