As Primo Levi tells of his trial and tribulations before, during, and after the holocaust in The Periodic Table, he expresses each story through identifying with elements in the Periodic Table. In this way, he exemplifies scientifically, a paradigm for understanding how the world works.

Continuous strikes of atrocity can bring about secretive, subtle, and even deep-buried personalities, which may hold dwindling views about fate. Following sheds light on the views that one may holds when put to constant insult: “According to our character, some of us are immediately convinced

Primo Levi describes his incarceration in Auschwitz through the lens of his practical/logical mind. While he certainly witnessed questionable things and suffered, his account of Auschwitz is less graphic then that of Elie Wiesel’s.
