Death’s Constant Reminder
This Way to The Gas Ladies, and Gentleman, by Tadeusz Borowski, takes place in a Jewish centration camp, where prisoners partook in unloading trains of people who are sent to the gas chambers to be killed. Throughout the story, the author depicts the reoccurring theme of death. The presence of an unbearable heat, the lack of water and the narrator’s encounters in the camp all portray the theme of death. One of the most potent symbols in the story is the heat. Within the first several lines the author references how “the heat is unbearable” and how most prisoners walk around naked. The narrator continues by saying the “the heat rises, the hours are endless.” The author deliberately repeats the existence of the heat
