In the play "Good" Halder faces a decision where he is split into two, should he join the nazis or shouldn't he. When looking at the situation from our position it seems obvious that he shouldn't join the Nazis since they have been seen as the most evil regime throughout recent history. They committed genocide on the Jewish community and treated them like animals, they even euthanasia anyone who was not going to be a contributor to their pure race, which included the physically handicapped, elderly, and the mentally unfit. Although not joining the Nazis would bring a set of different problems. Halder will be seen as a possible traitor for not taking the position, and be given all sorts of trouble. Whether I envy his position or not should be thought out.
             There are several reasons why I would envy Halders' position, during a time of great paranoia Halder is offered a position by Eichmann's side which would give him power and safety inside Germany, as long as they weren't being invaded. Joining the Nazis Halder is given the job to decide who should be subjected to mercy killings. A positive with Halder joining the Nazis is since he is sympathetic with Jewish community and has friends within, he thinks that he may be able to help the Jews by making changes within the Nazi regime trying to make them more sympathetic towards Jews, and change their views. Halder was also appointed head of the German university taking the position away from Mandelstam and taking his home as well. As head of the university Halder is in charge of what literature is distributed to the public. All these points make Halders position an envious one.
             On the other hand I would not envy Halders position of becoming a Nazi for many reasons. If Halder decides to take the position by Eichmann's side he starts to lose his best friend in the process (Maurice).
