In the book, The Book Thief, major characters include Liesel Meminger, Rudy Steiner, Max Vandenburg and the Hubermann's (Liesels Parents). Liesel, is the protagonist of the story, she is kind-hearted and steals books because of her love to read them. Rudy Steiner is Liesel's best friend in this book. Rudy, unlike Liesel had feelings for her until his death in the book. Max Vandenburg importance in the book is his hatred and its growth towards Hitler, he is nicknamed "The struggler" and "The Jewish fist fighter". The Hubermann's are actually Lesiels stepparents. While her stepmom is untrustworthy, her stepdad is calm and collected. Finally, the final "character" is the narrator. What I found weird is that the narrator is actually Death. During the story, I noticed that Death shows emotion such as sadness. In the novel the setting takes place in Molching,Germany betwen 1939 and 1943. I can relate this book to many movies and books I read during freshman year about Hitlers era and the struggle of anyone "lesser" then Germans at the time.
