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 was here that Eliezer studied religion, both Kabbalah and Torah. At the start of the war, Eliezer was devoted and absolute in his belief in God, but as the events of World War II unfold, his faith slowly begins to wither. Eliezer's main conflict that governs the story would be maintaining his belief in God. This becomes especially difficult throughout the book, as he must face increasingly difficult problems. Moshe the Beadle is the only character from whom Eliezer learned his faith. Moshe's teachings frame the conflict Eliezer faces throughout the story. One point that Moshe teaches Eliezer is that religion is based on two concepts: that God is everywhere, even in an individual and that faith is based on questions, not answers. The majority of the story focuses on our main character's questions and how he constantly wonders how the world can be so bad when he has been told his whole life that God is everywhere and that since God is well, that means everything is good. Because of this, our protagonist feels like he has been misled and lied to about the true nature of human beings and the world around him. As with all prisoners who have a change of heart and are willing to do whatever they can to survive the day, including hurting and betraying their own family, Eliezer wonders why God is so cruel, or if he even exists at all. It was in these moments that Eliezer lost any 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 to accept some of the meanness that the other prisoners show toward others, but yet he understands it at the same time, as he goes through the same hunger, pain, and despair. And finally, the bond that Eliezer shares with his father is important in the story because he now has someone he can always count on. Without his father, we would have seen the hope and humanity lost in Eliezer. The struggle for survival, under harsh conditions, changes Eliezer as he undergoes major changes, one of them being his complete faith in his lord and savior, which then turns him void of most emotions human. Ultimately, Eliezer transformed from an innocent schoolboy into a tough, scarred young man with only one thought on his mind: survival..
