How Does Night By Elie Wiesel Continue To Be Silent

The main reason why Elie was able to survive was because he was strong in faith and could endure difficult circumstances. Strength and perseverance were certainly key ingredients of Elie’s survival as he used them to get through daily life at the horrid concentration camps. The novel reveals that these aspects created positive mindsets amongst the Jews, such as when the Jews were forced into confined ghettos, “people thought this was a good thing…We would live among Jews, among brothers.” Without these characteristics, many Jews would have forfeited their adventure against the Nazis, like when some Jews wanted some sleep, but Elie did not as he knew it was close to the end and that sleeping could have led one to death. Night represents much that is wrong with human nature, but also little that is right such as strength and

Night is a motif in the novel because it appears very often and also used in differnent ways with different connotations. In the scene where Elies father is going to say something to him it is used as a time that Elie will not forget “I remember that night, the most horrendous of my life.” The same connotaion of night is used again when Elie is talking about his first time there at the camp I “speak of my first night over there.” “Day after day, night after night, he went from one Jewish house to the next, telling his story and that of Malka,” In this sentece Elie uses the word night as a way of saying that days and nights continue and so does this person that tells this story. The word night is also used as something positive and even something

Everyone “good” can do no wrong and everyone “bad” does everything wrong. That doesn’t happen in “Night”. We see multiple scenes in this story where because we are directly in the thoughts of the protagonist, we have an understanding of the motive behind Elie’s actions, whether it was for his own benefit or not. An example of this was when Elie was offered to get into a good Kommando, stay with his father, and other benefits just for his shoes. Elie refuses, thinking, “I refused to give him my shoes. They were all I had left.” (Wiesel, page 48) He later loses his shoes anyway, but gets absolutely nothing from it. From this scene, we see a moment where Elie’s psyche is especially weak, allowing us to better connect, relate, understand him as well as the

The most obvious reason the book is called night is because of the quote mentioned above. The quote from the book states that the first night he spent in the concentration camp "turned his life into one long night". It also says that it turned his life into one long night "seven times sealed", which refers to the Jewish Kabbalah, where a soul has to pass through seven gates guarded by fire. So, like in the Kabbalah, Elie had to pass through the "seven gates" of fire of the Holocaust.

The first and most prevalent example of symbolism in the book is the title itself. By calling the novel “Night” it is apparent to the reader that the Holocaust was a dark experience, full of terror and suffering. The entire novel is filled with “last nights”. Elie experiences the last night withEl his father, the last night in Buna, the last night in the ghetto, and several others throughout the book. The term “night” also references to a life without a God. Wiesel often says that God does not

In the text, ‘Night’, Elie survives because he keeps alive the hope of survival. An example of this is when he lies about his age and his occupation. “’I’m eighteen’. My voice was trembling” (page 33), this quote is evidence that Elie lied about his age so he does not get thrown into the crematorium, for being too young. Another example of Elie keeping the hope of survival alive is when he outcasts his father and decides to eat his rations. Elie does this because he knows that his father is sick and dying and he cannot help him besides watching him slowly die. Because of this his father has become a burden for Elie, lowing his chances of survival, and when Elie’s father dies Elie feels free from that burden. “And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!” (Page 112), this quote evidence

In Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie wrote about his journey through the Holocaust and how it impacted his faith. Before the Holocaust, Elie became very passionate about Judaism, but his learning was stopped abruptly because the Nazis had arrived. The Nazis took away his teacher, along with his neighbors. Soon, the Nazis came back for the remaining citizens and loaded them into a train. This was the beginning of the Holocaust, in which Elie would experience many horrific events. Throughout Night, Elie’s faith decreases because of the harsh conditions of concentration camps and the declining health of his father.

Throughout Night Elie undergoes hardships like many today. “I didn’t know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever.” His family was

The murder of thousands can not only impact the universe, but the ones that live in it.
