His guilt over the death of his beloved wife and son during World War 2 is a crucial event in which shaped the present Keller. He decides to remove his past and begin a new future in Darwin, however he lost some of his previous qualities in order to start fresh. One of these qualities was his love for romantic music. When Paul visits Vienna, he finds out that ‘Eduard loved the romantics.’ However after the concentration camp, Keller had hatred towards them as it clearly reminded him of the horrors he faced during that time. This accentuates how much guilt the man carries among himself and helps define who he truly is during the novel.
As such, Luke and Lulach, still share a desire for a perfect world, “A world without war” (11pg), they both are forced out of their comfort zone and have both taken on new responsibilities Luke with school work and Lulach with leading a country. Furthermore our original thoughts have not only changed, but have also developed our thoughts and also Luke and Lulach’s from; not feeling the same love for their stepfathers to having a loving respect for their stepfathers and both of they finding it hard to accepting their father’s deaths to both having overcome their father’s death.
In defiance of Keller’s instruction when Keller asks Paul to practice one piece instead he prepares two; he is hurt by the implication that he is not as good as he thinks he is or that Keller dismisses his talent in saying, ‘perhaps there can be no perfection’ which Paul responds to be ‘ignoring his advice,’ playing, ‘till his hands ached.’ Paul’s insensibility, which the author uses to render Keller’s teaching less efficacious is shown in the scene where Keller tries to inform Paul about his past and Paul is at first too insensitive, probing too deeply by asking Keller ‘Why didn’t you [leave]?’ and later during the confession Keller paternally hopes will benefit Paul, his interest is not sufficient to miss his rendezvous with Rosie. The context of Darwin’s steamy sexuality fuels his love for romantic music, something Keller no longer has any interest in. He is encountering sexuality and he loves Keller’s passionate rendition of Wagner’s Tristan from which he describes as ‘wonderful’ yet which Keller dismisses as ‘cheap tricks’. It is this sexual awakening that makes Paul ‘increasingly impervious to [Keller’s] criticism’ and though Keller’s brilliance is evident and the scathing eccentric teaching style as relevant as ever, Paul becomes less able to appreciate it.
Hurst uses foreshadowing in this story as well. “The doctor said that he mustn’t get too excited, too hot, too cold, or too tired and that he must always be treated gently. A long list of don’ts went with him, all of which I ignored once we got out of the house” (Hurst 345) Brother says himself that he ignores the information that Doodle is very fragile, and later Doodle dies because of his insolence and childish frustration.

Despite these events playing a significant role in his life, Speer also shaped some events, which caused him to become the man he was, specifically his success as the armaments minister and his similar success as Reich Architect. Born in Mannheim, 1905, Albert Speer Jr. was born the son of successful architect, Albert Snr and household mother, Mathilde, with one older and one younger brother. His father openly preferred his younger brother, Ernst, and Hermann was preferred by his mother, leaving Albert forgotten, receiving no emotional love shown towards him, making his life a ‘’misery for the weak’’. Consequently, Albert Snr had been brought up to suppress any feelings or emotions which, in turn brought about the same attitude that Albert Jnr had towards his own family later on in his life. This disaffection significantly desensitised Speer’s outlook on his future actions in regard to his amorality in regard to concentration camps and treatment of Jews.
“The yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You don’t die of it…” (Wiesel 9). Here, Elie’s father shows that he thinks wearing a yellow star has no importance. The star itself doesn’t kill the Jews, but since it is a symbol of their Jewish background they are sent to the death and concentration camps where they eventually die.
