Brody's Luggage

Brody’s Luggage is a symbol of his scholarly pursuits and displacement in this event. Sallah sets it down on the crowded platform as the Nazi confrontation escalates, abandoning it to counter the threat. The luggage, packed with academic tools and supplies, contrasts sharply with the brutal, improvised violence unfolding around it. Its presence on the ground underscores Brody’s vulnerability—he is physically and emotionally unprepared for the dangers of the Grail quest, and his belongings become collateral in the chaos. The luggage’s abandonment mirrors Brody’s own helplessness, left behind as he is swept into the Nazi trap.
