How did Hitler act when he came to dinner at Bruno's house?

• A. He was rude, bossy, and sat in Father's chair
• B. He spoke softly and admired the house
• C. He asked for seconds politely
• D. He smiled and left early

Answer: (A)

Power and authority in everyday life are being tested here. When Hitler comes to dinner, his behavior shows how the regime injects intimidation into ordinary moments. He is rude and bossy, talking in a forceful, commanding way, and he sits in Father’s chair, taking the place of honor and asserting control over the household. That act of occupying the chair signals dominance and the way the Nazis dictate terms even in private settings, casting a shadow over the family dinner and Bruno’s world. The scene isn’t about politeness or warmth; it’s about power and fear shaping how people interact.
