In Night by Elie Wiesel, he continually mentioned the theme of faith/optimism/hope. The deeper into the memoir, the more Wiesel lost his faith. Initially, in the beginning of the book, he had a really close relationship with God, but as the Holocaust went on, he lost his faith more and more. Wiesel went through many occasions of a loss of faith throughout his ordeal in a concentration camp. He questioned Gods existence and his belief in religion after undergoing atrocities during the Holocaust. Therefore, Wiesels faith was in question, whether he loved God or not.
Wiesel started to realize that his faith began to diminish, and his belief in God became distant. He struggled with his decision to support God, especially with his quote, …May His name be celebrated and sanctified… whispered my father. 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, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for? (33). Wiesel seems resentful and frustrated with God. He feels that he doesnt see any reason to exalt and praise him. Wiesel doesnt understand why anyone would want to praise a God who lets horrible things always happen. That is when his constant struggle with his faith throughout the memoir, begins. For so long, he had praised God for all the less important things, especially in recent times; however, when he begins to notice without God, he wonders why he is allowing these terrible events to unfold without divine intervention, as well as why he ought to praise a God who isnt doing anything good for him. I chose to use the tone word bewildered because it seems like Wiesel is puzzled and confused about why he should continue to worship a God who, to him, thinks that he does nothing for him. I decided to accentuate when he was asking questions since bewildered means puzzled or bemused.
In conclusion, Wiesel struggled throughout the memoir with his faith. In the beginning, practicing his faith was very important to him, and he cared about it, a lot, but towards the end of the book, God is no longer with him. He started losing faith when he realized how bad the situation was. His experiences in concentration camps diminished his faithful connection. At night, people also have hope that their circumstances get better and that they will get through this tough time. When worse comes to worst and you cant do much, you just have to have hope.Â
