Night is a novel written from the point of view of a Jewish teenager, about his experiences as a prisoner during the Holocaust. Our teenager named Eliezer grew up in the small community of Sighet, located in Hungarian Transylvania. It is here that Eliezer studies religion, both Kabbalah and Torah. At the beginning of the war Eliezer was devout and absolute in his faith in God, but during the events of World War II his faith slowly begins to fade. Eliezer's main conflict that governs the story would be to sustain his belief in God. This becomes especially difficult over the course of the book, as he faces increasingly challenging questions. Moshe the Beadle is the only character Eliezer learned about his faith from, Moshe's teachings frame the conflict Eliezer faces throughout the story. One point Moshe teaches Eliezer is that religion is based on two concepts; that God is everywhere, even within an individual and that faith is based on questions and not on answers. Most of the story focuses on the questions of our main characters and how he constantly wonders how the world can be so evil when he has been told his whole life that God is everywhere and because God is good that means everything is good . Because of this, our protagonist feels as if he has been deceived and deceived about the true nature of human beings and the world around him. Like all prisoners who have changed their minds and are willing to do whatever they can to survive the day, including hurting and betraying their own family, it makes Eliezer wonder why God is so cruel, or if he even exists at all. It is in these moments that Eliezer lost all faith he had in humanity and religion, which he had previously learned from Moshe. Be...... middle of paper ...... here as cruel and terrifying as the Gestapo. Eliezer also struggles with some of the meanness that the other prisoners show towards others, but at the same time he understands it, because he is going through the same hunger, pain and desperation. And finally the bond that Eliezer shares with his father is important to the story because now he has someone he can always count on. Without his father we would have seen the lost hope and humanity in Eliezer. The struggle for survival, under harsh conditions, changes Eliezer as he undergoes some major changes, one of which is his total faith in his lord and savior, which then transforms him into a being void of most human emotions. Eliezer eventually went from being an innocent schoolboy to a tough, scarred young man, who has only one thought running through his head; survival.
