  1. As Night begins, Eliezer is so moved by faith that he weeps when he prays. He is also searching for a deeper understanding of the mystical teachings of the Kabbalah. How does Eliezer's relationship with his faith and with God change as the book progresses? As Eliezer progresses through the book, the things the Nazis do to him and his father make him doubt how fair God is to people, then eventually loses faith once he realizes nothing is going to change.

     

    2. What literal and symbolic meanings does "night" have in the book? Many of the key plot events happen at night time, and night, which is black, can symbolize evil or danger.

     

    3. Early in the book, after Moishe the Beadle escapes his execution, 

    no one, not even Eliezer, believes his tales (p. 7). Even when the Germans arrive in Sighet and move all the Jews into ghettos, the Jewish townspeople seem to ignore or suppress their fears. "Most people thought that we would remain in the ghetto until the end of the war, until the arrival of the Red Army. Afterwards everything would be as before" (p. 12). What might be the reasons for the townspeople's widespread denial of the evidence facing them? It is possibly due to having too much faith in God, and believing that he will protect the innocent.

     

    4. Think of the

    kapos and the little blonde pipel who is hanged on page 64. Who are the bystanders? Who are the perpetrators? Who are the victims in Night? Do these roles sometimes overlap? The bystanders, who are also the victims in Night, are all of the prisoners in the concentration camps. The perpetrators are all of the Nazis making this happen.

     

    5. At the end of

    Night, Wiesel writes: "From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me’”(p. 115). What parts of Eliezer died during his captivity? What was born in their place? His faith towards God died completely, and in its place is a coward who wants nothing more than to eat and survive, not caring for others.

     

    6. What scenes from

    Night do you remember most vividly? Describe two of these scenes and explain why they had an impact on you. One is when they are first being taken to the concentration camps, and a family friend starts hallucinating and thinking she is seeing fire. The other one is when Elie and his father are on the train and Elie is watching everyone fight for food the Germans threw into it. I'm not entirely sure why these two impact me most, but it may be because Eliezer cannot do anything but watch these horrible events happen, without the Nazis even taking part in it.

     

    7. In his 1986 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Wiesel says: "[O]ne person of integrity can make a difference, a difference of life and death. As long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our life will be filled with anguish and shame.

    What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs" (p. 120). Has Elie Wiesel  fulfilled this purpose with this book? Explain why or why not. How does this statement make you feel about your place in the world? Sort of. By writing a book about himself it makes it seem like he wrote the book for himself, so that he could get over the problems, instead of just for sharing it for others (Which is probably the case).
