Night, written by Elie Wiesel, is a real life story of the hardships faced by a 15 year old Jew during World War 2. Elie Wiesel’s account of the genocide he faced embodies human natures at its weakest.

The Jews and prisoners were often self-centred, only able to think about themselves, and the Nazis also often degraded the people of the concentration camps.

For some people, being a hero or having heroic attributes includes zooming in with super speed to save to city from a monster, but in reality there are no aliens or super powers. A hero is someone who puts others needs before theirs, like Elie Wiesel in Night.

Although many heroes are considered heroes, some are just put in situations where they must be heroic in order to survive.

“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering” (Nietzsche).

In Night, the point Elie Wiesel is making about survival is disheartening, giving examples of what people will do to survive and their every man for themselves mindset. While fighting to survive, numerous animalistic instincts control every aspect of how a person thinks. Moreover, these instincts make you think you must do whatever you can to survive, regardless of who you are harming in the process. Night gives an excellent example of the concept that family and friends do not matter when it comes to life or death, people with this mindset will do nearly anything to live another day. Nevertheless, there are many instances when the survival mindset is strictly internal, pushing them further than they thought they were capable of.
