Symbolism In Night By Elie Wiesel

Although there are many different stories about the holocaust, Elie Wiesel's story is very vivid and full of the jarring reality of his experiences. He doesn’t hold back any of the cruelness and torment he was forced to endure as an adolescent. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses repetition, imagery, and symbolism to illustrate the deprivation of his former self during his traumatic experiences during his time in the Nazi work camp.

"The night seemed endless" (Wiesel 26) on the train to Auschwitz. In the memoir "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Night is symbolic, and its meaning can be interpreted in multiple ways. Night epitomized fear whilst also serving as a haven from the torture in the camp. The horrors Elie witnesses in the camp are relieved, even if it be for a little while, at night. Night is not just a period of respite, but also a time of anxiety for the coming day of torture.

In life, the perfect ideas might just ruin lives. Whether the topic is as big as people not aging or as little as a new law, there is always a positive but there is always a negative. In 2BRO2B, Kurt V. uses symbolism, irony, and allusion to convey the theme that life cannot be perfect. Kurt Vonnegut uses figurative language in his story 2BRO2B. For example, the title is a perfect representation of allusion.

Symbolism in literature is using an object to portray a different, deeper meaning in a story. Symbols represent ideas or qualities that the author has maneuvered into his or her story that has meaning. There can be multiple symbols in a story or just one. It is up to the reader to interpret the meaning of the symbols and their significance to the story. While reading a story, symbols may not become clear until the very end, once the climax is over, and the falling action is covered. In William Faulkner’s, “A Rose for Emily,” there are multiple examples of symbolism that occur throughout the story.

In a true-story about more suffering and terror one could ever even attempt to imagine, one man tells his story about learning that just because you’re breathing doesn’t mean you’re living. In the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel uses symbolism to reveal that physical death is not the only way to die.

This representation of death is apparent when Madame Schachter is seeing visions of fire while riding on the cattle car (22). Another example of death can be found on page 106: “I awoke on January 29 at dawn. In my father’s place lay another invalid. They must have taken him away before dawn and carried him to the crematory. He may still have been breathing.” This symbolism helps the reader visualize a new person laying in Elie’s father's place. It also gives deeper meaning that Elie’s dad may have not been dead, but too sick, so he had to face death. Death is a symbol of fire which appears often in the memoir

The Holocaust was the mass murder of Jews under the control of Hitler during the period 1941-1945. More than 6 million Jews, as well as members of other groups, such as gypsies and homosexuals, were murdered at concentration camps the biggest camp was Auschwitz. They got tea for their morning meal, for lunch prisoners would be given a litre of soup that was watered down. If they were lucky, they might find a piece of a potato peel. One of the survivors of the holocaust stated “Your bowl was your life, without your bowl you didn’t eat.” (Kitty - Return to Auschwitz, YTV 1979) Hunger caused the Jew inmates to do things they normally wouldn't do.

The author of the book Night is Elie Wiesel and the main character is Eliezer. The title Night points out to the darkness of mind, life and soul experienced by everyone who had suffered in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

In the book Night, Eliezer’s faith fades away by seeing the horrible conditions of his surroundings, the painful deaths of many innocent people and by persecution.

The novel, Tangerine, is full of suspense, secrets, and friendship. The protagonist, Paul, is a middle schooler, who just moved to Tangerine, Florida with his family. He is sick and tired of having to deal with his cruel brother, Erik, the antagonist. Not only that, but Paul wants to know the truth behind how he became visually impaired.

One example of this is when the lady on the train kept yelling “fire!”. She continued to say she saw fire, even though nobody else saw this. Everyone on the train thought she was crazy. This woman was very afraid that she might be burned by the fire she saw. I think that this event could symbolize the fear that everyone had during the Holocaust. Another example of symbolism in this book is all the dead bodies laying around in the end of the book. Towards the end of the book there are lots of bodies lying around that have not been disposed of. I think that this event could symbolise how the people in the camps that were still alive had lost all of their humanity. This can cause the reader to have a feeling of fear when they read the book
