The aspect of acting and figure behavior comes into play, in the way that the milita, and the German soldiers both act. When the milita is first faced with the Jew, they talk to him as if he was an illiterate, and stand high, straight, and still while holding their guns on their hips to symbolize the idea of power and great authority they have over the rest of the people there. It remarks this idea of a community, or a group of people and the social values that they stand for. When it comes to the German soldiers, they are drunk, and their body language depicts the idea of a drained mentality, and the desire to escape the community that they form a part of, or that because of the system, they are now forced to form a part of.
