I used three Bible commentaries to better understand this passage. Those commentaries were Ellicott Commentary (online)‚ Barnes Commentary (online)‚ and the Benson Commentary (online).

Ellie Wiesel portrays the full effect of indifference during his speech “The Perils of Indifference” by using firm language choices‚ to emphasize indifference.

The comparison of the speaker’s living situation to that of a prison‚ a place of oppression‚ is the dominant thematic
