The young priest sees many Japanese Christians die as martyrs for their faith without any sign from the heavens that God is aware of their suffering. Though Rodrigues believes in a heavenly afterlife for the martyrs, he is shocked by the banality of their deaths, and the indifference of the world. He finds it hard to reconcile their horrible deaths with a God that exists.
