This paper examines the actions that are considered real resistance, the intent of resistance, and the type of resistance exhibited in the novel The Book Thief. It also demonstrates theorist Scotts’ categorization of the different forms of resistance by elaborating on organized resistance and everyday forms of resistance in the text. All the activities of the subaltern group are not considered as dispersed resistance; James C Scott describes a few techniques of everyday resistance that indirectly affected the power relations in the Nazi biopolitical regime. These were carried out by peasants in his work but they can be universally applied to all subaltern groups. The techniques mentioned by Scott and their exhibition by the Germans in the novel are enunciated.
