“Everything will seem better in the light of day”, a phrase commonly told to those suffering from the crippling anxiety and over thinking that often accompanies the fall of night. Night by Elie Wiesel gives numerous examples of the complexities and range of emotions that can occur simply by the setting of the sun. The night is a heavily used theme in the book, inasmuch as it was even deemed important enough to be set as the title of the work. The reader is given such a detailed account of the many long and difficult nights that Elie endured, that it is as though one can feel the passage of years in only 115 pages. Throughout the novel, there are many instances where the length, amount of sleep, and feelings associated with night are inconsistent due to the psychological distress these men and women were under. Perhaps the only consistent thing about the night in Elie’s life is how inconsistent it is.

In a Concentration Camp survival was next to impossible. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie is a survivor of the holocaust who doesn’t have much of a relationship with his father. He has always felt that he was never important to his father and that his father cared more about the community than his own family. When Eliezer and his father are forced to count on each other, it’s a slow process for them to finally have a father-son relationship. Without each other they wouldn’t have survived for as long as they did and Eliezer would have lost all hope. A major theme in this story is how Eliezer and his father come together and build a relationship amidst their circumstances.

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

Strong bonds built upon trust and dependability can last a lifetime, especially through strenuous moments when the integrity of a bond is the only thing that can be counted on to get through those situations. In Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, he writes about his life spent in the concentration camps, while explaining the experiences and struggles that he went through. Although, not everything during that period was completely unbearable for Wiesel. At the time when Wiesel first arrived at the camps, the fear instilled in Wiesel and the loneliness he would have felt forced him to form a stronger attachment to his father. That dependence towards his father gave Wiesel a reason to keep on living. In turn, his

Elie Wiesel was the protagonist of the memoir Night who overcomes many obstacles while in the Holocaust. Elie was fifteen when he was put in concentration camps. He was separated from his mother and sisters forever; they were immediately sent to the crematoriums. All Elie had was his father who never showed much emotion or affection. Elie lied about his age and said he was older so he could stay with his father as he was advised to by a stranger who was also in the Holocaust. Elie was worked, almost to death, for one year. He also maintained to keep with his father and keep him motivated and hopeful till the very end. Throughout the year he watched his father be beaten, stripped down, and nearly dead. Elie had also been beaten; he had been especially victimized by a “Kapo” named

Most people believe that family helps build you up and make you stronger, even through tragic events; this isn’t always true. In Elie Wiesel’s book, Night, he explains the hardships he and his father, Shlomo, experienced while in concentration camps. In the book, Elie and his dad went through many tough situations together: starvation, beatings, and health issues. As more and more horrific events occurred, Eliezer's relationship with his father began to fade. As Shlomo grew weaker physically, Eliezer grew weaker emotionally; the intense trauma numbed his heart. Because of these many difficulties, Eliezer was shaped into an independent young man who no longer relied on his family but on his own strength for survival.

The theme of Night is first shown when Elie first witnessed his father cry. His father was crying because he realized that the world was changing and they had to go to the ghettos to get ready to be sent to the camps. “My father was crying. It was the first time I saw him cry. I had never thought it possible.” The quote means that his father was upset and cried for the first time in front of Elie because Elie’s father knew he would to be sent in

This detail suggests Elie is trying to cheer up his father which shows his reliability. Second, Elie always tried his best to stay alongside his father.

His father, who is an unsentimental man and leader of the Jewish community, believes that he is too young.
