People Change In Elie Wiesel's Night

First, the reader views Wiesel’s personality changes as a result of life in Auschwitz. Perhaps the most obvious change is his steadily increasing disinterest of religion. Before his internment, Wiesel demonstrates a growing interest in the religion of his parents. During the day, he studied Talmud, a legal commentary on the Torah, or the Jewish Ten Commandments. At night, he would worship at the synagogue, “to weep over the

Have you ever had an event where you, or someone you know, became a completely different person because of certain experiences? Many victims of the Holocaust personalities were changed because of the traumatizing experiences they had to go through in the concentration camps. Elie Wiesel’s personality definitely changed during his ordeal. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie, changed in many ways throughout the book because of the different experiences and sights he had to go through in Auschwitz.

Wiesel’s faith changes from being a strong believer in faith before the war to losing faith while during the war, he goes on to talk about him losing faith by saying “Some of the men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice.” (Pg.63). This quote goes on to demonstrate the loss of faith by Wiesel when being tortured by the Germans with the rest of the millions of Jews. Wiesel also loses faith when he says “Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes .”(Pg. 34) When Wiesel say this it implicates that his faith is being lost, and also he feels that his faith is basically being robbed from him by the German Nazis party. This fully show that he had lost faith but this shows what harshness and cruelty can do to a

While they were in these camps, Wiesel was faced with inhumanity and starts losing faith in God. He thinks that God isn’t with him in these hard times. Wiesel say,” For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the universe, choose to be silent. What was there to thank him for?” (Wiesel 33). He believes no one, not even God is helping at that moment. He questions if he should really thank him because he is angry at God. In addition, not only does he ask himself if God is really there once. He asks himself this various times. Even though he is starting to lose faith he see’s others who still have faith in God. He says,” Some of the men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted his absolute Justice”(Wiesel 45). He see’s that men still have faith in God. Which means they still believed that God could help them get out of there. He is not sure that will happen because he doesn’t have faith even though he believes that he exists. This shows that even when he sees other people have faith it doesn’t help because he feel like he has not helped at all. To conclude this paragraph, Wiesel has not started to lose faith in God because of the cruel things he sees. Therefore; he believes
