     Oskar Schindler is a complex character.  He starts out as a manipulative person who only cares about himself.  He is trying to gain wealth and power at the expense of the Jews during World War II.  As he begins to work with and know the Jews, he begins to like and respect them and finally helps them in the end.
     At the beginning of the movie he used the little money he had and the fact that he was a member of the Nazi party to befriend people of influence.  Schindler went to Isaac Stern to help him find investors to start an enamel plant. Schindler bargained with the investors and got them to invest in exchange for pots and pans.  Schindler hired Stern as his assistant, and Stern will be the one that runs the plant.  Schindler was easily able to start up his factory because of the people he befriended in the beginning.
     Schindler employed Jews in his factory because it was cheaper than hiring the Polish workers.  Stern went around and found people that were not essential workers.  He helped them by forging their papers and helping them through the lines that their work papers were checked in.  The Jews that Stern helped worked at Schindler�s factory.  Stern brought a man with one arm in to see Shindler.  The man was supposed to be a press operator. He was there to thank Schindler for saving his life.  Schindler was angry with Stern for doing this because he knew the one armed man was not essential.
     Schindler�s Jews were stopped in the street on the way to work and the Nazis made them shovel snow off the streets.  The one armed man was shot because the soldiers knew he could not be essential.  Schindler told one of his friends in charge that he was angry because of the workers

Schindler seemed to be sympathetic toward the man who was shot.  This was the point when he first showed that he was beginning to feel toward the Jews.
Schindler was told that Stern was supposed to have been taken to a train to be shipped off to a camp.  Schindler arrived at the train station as fast as he could to save Stern.  The guards told him that Stern was supposed to be on the train and that there was nothing they can do about it.  Schindler told them that if they did not find Stern and get him off the train they would be restationed to a horrid place.  Schindler was angry with Stern for forgetting his papers because he needs Stern to run his business. If the business were to die, so would all the Jews working there.  Schindler was showing compassion toward the Jewish people, but it still seems that he is more worried about his business.
