Here's how it relates to the novel:
* Suffering and questioning God: Job, a righteous man, is subjected to immense suffering by God. He questions God's justice and purpose, much like Eliezer does throughout the novel. Eliezer struggles to reconcile the horrors he witnesses with his faith and belief in a benevolent God.
* Loss of faith: Both Job and Eliezer experience a profound loss of faith as a result of their suffering. While Job eventually submits to God's will, Eliezer's faith remains shattered, leaving him with a sense of emptiness and a lingering question about God's presence during the Holocaust.
This allusion is not explicit but rather woven into the narrative through Eliezer's internal struggle and questioning. It highlights the deep psychological and spiritual impact of the Holocaust, forcing readers to confront the same questions of faith and suffering that have plagued humanity for centuries.
