Theme For Night By Elie Wiesel

185 Words1 Page

My theme for night was the preservation of self over others. Throughout the book many people become selfish and start to care only of themselves including Elie.The reason why I chose this as my theme is because I find it very interesting how under certain situations people change very rapidly.Elie soon comes to realize this , but does little to change it.Mostly ,because he needs to be this way in order to survive. The first time he showed this characteristic was when he saw his father being beaten in front of him , and did nothing.He was shocked that he had allowed himself to act like this. He was paralyzed with fear , hoping that he himself would not be beaten. When i was reading this part of the text i was wondering why he would just sit

    The small town of Sighet, also known as Sighetu Marmatiei, is located today in Transylvania, Romania. Through the years, Sighet has had strong ties to the Jewish religion, just as it does today. The town has been part of both Romania and Hungary at times, and has seen a decreasing number of residents since 1944. During the 1940s, anti-Jewish sentiment was at its peak, with Adolf Hitler being the face of the anti-Jewish movement. By 1944, World War I had started, and more than 14,000 Jews resided in Sighet, but by the end of May of the same year, none remained, and Sighet was comparable to a ghost town.

    Chosen Bonds “Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb” - Common Proverb This proverb means the bonds one makes himself/herself are stronger than bonds one is made to have, but in Night by Elie Wiesel, the author shows that people can form stronger bonds with family, as to become that covenant. Night follows the author’s experience as a young Jewish boy in Sighet Romania during the Holocaust; at a mere 15 years, Wiesel had been subjected to living in ghettos, being separated from his mother and sisters, being beat and worked to death in concentration camps, and losing his father. Throughout this book, many of the people mentioned struggled with self preservation versus familial commitment and it has grown to be one of the major themes portrayed in Night. The theme of self preservation versus familial commitment is evident in the author’s family, other prisoners, and in Wiesel himself.

    Elie Wiesel’s relationship with God changes during his time in Auschwitz. He becomes angry with God for letting His own creations starve, torture, and mercilessly murder His devout worshippers. Wiesel cannot understand why his creator would open “six crematoria working day and night” to slaughter human beings (Wiesel 67). He does not trust God to be just any longer, for “every fiber in [him rebels]” (67). Wiesel feels he is stronger than the God whom he was bound to for so long, and he “no longer [accepts] God’s silence” (69).

    As Molching recovers from its first air raid, Liesel witnesses the parade of the enslaved Jews for the first time as they pass through the town on their march to a labour camp in Dachau. Markus Zusak’s bleak depiction of the scene is emphasised by the confronting imagery, muted by the overall absence of speech and the normalised degradation of the Jews. Presented without inner thoughts, the traumas of reality are illustrated plainly on their bodies and rendered all the more devastating in its overarching theme of loss. Throughout the passage, the Jewish fate of endless dehumanisation is perpetuated by the silence of the audience in response to the soldiers’ cruelty. The passage opens on a dictionary definition for ‘misery’, establishing a
