Night by Elie Wiesel | Book Analysis

Night by Elie Wiesel Book Analysis1. In the book, the narrators mentioning of the Exile of parsimoniousness and the destruction of the synagogue at the low gear of the flooring foreshadows the events in this section of Night by paradeing the reinforced religious ties of the story to divinity fudge and indicates the removing of the Jews from their homeland. The author was leaving sm all subtle hints that Jews were beginning to be deported to concentration camps. scarce the Exile of Providence and the destruction of the Temple both fox very religious meanings, foreshadowing the themes and importance of divinity fudge and religion faith that take place in the story. The Exile of Providence is a condition in many Jewish belief systems that globe will be delivered from evil and returned to perfections deal. In the beginning of the book, Elie says that at night, he goes to weep over the destruction of the temple, which is a part of mourning in the Judaism belief. The Exile o f Providence and the destruction of the Temple foreshadowed that Elie Wiesel had a very strong belief in God and had a outstanding interest in Judaism. only it also showed that God would play a very all important(predicate) role in Elies animation. As Elies exists of the final solution progressed, Elie begins to question God, show signs of doubt, and retrogress faith in God. God and religion would also be the promise for prisoners in the concentration camps, helping them endure the suffering.2. Using eyeball to get word a person, at the beginning of the book, Elie draw offs how he likes Moishe the Beadles wide, dreamy eyes that view glum into the distance. These eyes show that Moishe the Beadle has vast wisdom, hope, and is a very wide being. He seems to be a very humble and modest man. His eyes might also suggest his strong belief in God and hope to get past the final solution, pain, devastation, and suffering. But in contrast, when Moishe De Beadle returns from his h orrible bring and his witnessing of death and the killing of infants, his eyes are empty and hollow. His eyes no longer show joy, dreaminess, and the hope. Moishe De Beadle no longer even mentions God. His eyes show that he is overwhelmed by fear and horror and that he might perk up lost all hope.3. The reason I commend Elie Wiesel decided to deferral a decade before attempting to express his experience in delivery was because that he was too xenophobic to speak out at the time. But I believe that even if Elie Wiesel tried to speak out, his voice would puzzle been silenced along with millions of others. To this daylight, voices such(prenominal) as Elie Wiesel and Anne Frank are some of the not-so-many and preserved voices we can hear. Even if Elie tried to speak out, there would be no one to listen to him. He could have been killed, beaten, and hurt in the concentration camps barely for expressing his thoughts. But I unchanging believe that what he did was wrong. The silen ce and the victims lack of resistance of what was happening was what allowed the holocaust to continue. Even it meant being killed or beaten, Elie should have tried loudly and boldly to speak of the horrors of the holocaust. It would be a very hard thing to do tho it was the right thing to do. Elie had been controlled by fear and kept tongueless until the incident was all over. Un suitable to go sand, Elie now speaks out. After his experience in the holocaust, Elie Wiesel lived on and spoke about it so that people could come upon from the past to prevent story to repeat itself. He speaks of his memories and experiences so that the dry land can learn from its past mistakes.4. Two examples of the theme, emotional death in the story is the way Mrs. Schachter behaves when her husband and two older sons were deported and when Moishe De Beadle escapes from the Galician forest, witnessing the deaths of many. Emotional death can easily allow the reader to understand how terrible the holocaust was and its horrors. Mrs. Schachter had lost her mind, crying and screaming hysterically. Moishe De Beadles eyes had dumbfound hollow and he had lost the will to live. Both were not dead yet but something inside them had died and they have lost hope of themselves.Two examples of the theme, self rescue vs. family commitment arePart 21. The prisoners recitation of the Kaddish prayer as they walk through Auschwitz conveys the theme of struggle to go for faith by showing that the prisoners are beginning to realize the savagety and evil of the holocaust. praxis of the prayer may bring comfort for those who still believe in God. But the prisoners begin to doubt their faith. They wonder if God notices their pain or even cares. Reciting the prayer allows the prisoners to realize that the pain, suffering, and death has yet to be prevented by God.2. The motif of night is used to explain Eliezers experiences in the camp because Elie Wiesels life could be easily compared to night time. At night, it is dark and frightening, just like Wiesels experiences in the camp. At night, there is no sunshine, no light. There is only if darkness, just like the way life passed on for Elie Wiesel in those concentration camps. Elie Wiesel explained how he had lost track of time. Nighttime would come every day and the Jews would be afraid if they would live to go through the night and what would happen to them in the next hour.3. A work of literature that I know that conveys a theme found in Night is a book I read called, The Hunger Games. It is a book about a teenage girl who is thrown into a game where she has to fight to the death against gobs of other teenagers, a show for the whole nation to watch. They both have themes of survival, self conservation, populace, and hope. In Night, Elie Wiesel witnessed people fighting and beating one some other over crumbs of bread and Jews beating and fighting each other for food. In the Hunger Games, contestants have to fight and kill each other until only one remains standing. Both books show the characters struggle against if they should go against humanity in order to save their own lives. Both books show how public can be some cruel.Part 31. The statement, Man raises himself towards God by the questions he asks Him. Demonstrates the narrators struggle with faith of Rosh Hashanah by showing that Eliezer doubts Gods justice and power, seeing that God does zilch to relieve the suffering in the Holocaust. On Rosh Hashanah, Elie refuses to pray, for he feels that God any does not care or cannot do anything about the horrors of the holocaust. Elie also begins to approximate that man is very strong, even greater than god. This behavior is entirely in contrast to Elies past interest in his Judaism faith. Elie has witnessed so such(prenominal) torture and death that he beings to question God.2. An example of the theme, self preservation vs. family commitment, is when Mier, a boy killed his paternity on a t rain for a small piece of bread. He then found out that his father had saved a piece for him. Mier had lost sight of what was important of him and only cared about saving himself, killing his own father for food. He had become a person without a sense of humanity.An example of the theme, emotional death, is how Elie feels afterward his fathers death. Nothing matters to him anymore since his fathers death. Elie no longer thinks of anything but the desire to eat. He lives on, but really, he is no longer himself. His fathers death gives him great guilt and depression. He had unheeded his fathers call when he was dying and thirsty, conscience-smitten how he had mat his father as a burden. He agnise that he had lost what he had loved most.An example of the theme, struggling to maintain faith, is the day of Rosh Hashanah where Elie Wiesel is full of anger towards God, refusing to pray for he blames that God has been cruel and uncaring, allowing the suffering and pain to continue.An e xample of the theme, dignity in the face of inhumane cruelty, is when Juliek was surrounded by hundreds of dead and dying bodies, yet he still played his violin, something he loved. An SS officer had not allowed Juliek to play what he had wanted, Beethoven. The day of his death, although not allowed, he played Beethoven, showing his dignity.3. Elie Wiesel struggles to live, but also having to care for his father where survival is unbearably difficult. Elie did love his father but to endlessly help and care for his father made it harder for him to ensure his own survival. He tried his best not to lose sight of what was important to him, family. But in the end, Elies self preservation behavior took over his commitment to his father. Elie was afraid to get another blow to the head by the officer and ignored his father who was desperately calling out his name, thirsty and dying. With the death of his father, Elie felt that he was finally free at last, seeing his father as nothing but a burden. He feels that his father is better off dead than having to suffer.4. Based on what I know about history and what Wiesel writes in Night about human nature is that we are all scared and frightened beings. We can be so selfish, greedy, and we desire so many things because we are human. Humans are so imperfect by nature. Humans have also done the most evil things possible, to such an extent that world would kill one another. But I think by nature, humans are individual social beings. All humans have lied, been greedy, and have been frightened but humans are able to learn from their past mistakes. Compared to the times of the holocaust, human behavior has gradually improved.4. I think it was an effective way how Wiesel devoted only a a few(prenominal) lines to the events after his liberation. After his liberation, Elie wrote little but what he wrote had very great meanings. He wrote how when he looked into the mirror, a corpse was looking back at him. Elie Wiesel could never forget the look in his eyes as they gazed back at him. This short phrase made me, the reader, have to analyze and report what I had just read. The words spoke for themselves, showing Elies great pain and sadness. I thought the ending was just enough to describe Elie Wiesels feelings. Something else that Wiesel might have done was explain how
