Gretel is most at fault for Bruno’s tragic death. Gretel is responsible because she knew about the concentration camps and she made Bruno believe that the camp was good. Gretel knew the true nature of the camp, but didn’t tell Bruno, and so Bruno didn’t know what he was getting in to. Gretel is older and wiser than Bruno. Gretel knew it wasn’t a farm, but a camp. Gretel knew what Lt. Kotler did to Pavel, but she didn’t explain it to Bruno. Although some believe it is the parent's responsibility to tell these things,Gretel should have told him.Gretel made Bruno believe that the Nazis and the camp were good, so Bruno was not afraid of the camp. Gretel assured Bruno that what Father was doing in the camp was good. Gretel was always flirting with Lt. Kotler, and listened to what he said about the camp.Although Gretel didn’t feel she needed to explain, she should have spelled out what was happening in the camp. Gretel knew the evil nature of the camp but didn’t tell Bruno the truth,therefore, confusing him about the true nature of the Jews. Gretel kept Bruno from the knowledge of good and evil, which put him in a dangerous situation, causing his death.
