Immediately from the start, the unknown oppressors attempt to isolate the author by “build[ing] walls higher” and “paint[ing] the windows black” so that he does not establish communication with the outside world. Subsequently, the oppressors locking of his cage represents his imprisonment (Constantakis lines16-17: 278).

The imagery creates an idea of superiority for the oppressors over the author, and their cruelty through torture.

Pathos is also evident when Banneker alludes to Job, a religious figure in the Bible who endures much suffering. Towards the end of his letter, Banneker quotes Job’s message that one must “‘put [his] souls stead,’ thus shall [his] hearts be enlarged with kindness and
He uses the word terrors which represents anything freighting, dark and scary. Additionally, Poe once again uses figurative language to explain what is happening within the poem. In the following passage, Poe uses onomatopoeia to explain the sensation that is taking over his body. He opened the chamber door and sees nothing but the darkness before him.
I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice” (45). Before his struggle, he was emotionally and spiritually connected to God and spent so much of his time studying the Jewish faith. In contrast, after he experienced living in a concentration camp he questioned God’s motives and no longer believed in absolute justice.

The Book of Job provides an example of how people should praise God by illustrating a blameless, responsible, and fearing man who will always turn away from evil. Therefore, this book presents the same man tortured by outside forces lacking the possibility to acquire help from family and friends. Throughout the reading in particular (14:11) demonstrates how there was a moment of weakness in which Job fails and ask for his death, but after all, he did not commit sin and endured waiting for his torment to banish. In addition, the book reveals how men turned against a man in need and instead judged him without understanding the sources causing his disgrace. However, the book provides a comparison in how humans behave by providing vivid examples of characters who showed behaviors illustrating how humanity functions.
