Safran Foer brings the reader in by creating a very emotional subject, then aids the sadness with a defense mechanism through humor. His input of the Kolker brings humor into the novel, at the same time granting readers with comfort, causing them to think the subject is harmless and releases tension while deepening the underlying mood of crisis. Even through Brod’s difficulties, humor is used to soften the severity of the scenario. “Brod, isn’t it strange how some mathematical phrases can have a lot on one side and just a little on the other?

Humans are capable of a variety of emotions, ranging from saintly to pure evil. Society fosters the positive aspects because they are beneficial to our lives. Negative traits are feared due to their relationship as omens of bad fortune and so refuses to openly discuss them despite their ability to exert influence in our lives.
