The book Night by Elie Wiesel, offers a depressing tone and reminds us that silence is destructive. The reader confronts this, desolation from Elie when he talks about becoming the son of the Rabbi. Elie promised himself that he would always be there for his father even during this horrendous time. As time progress, he inevitable breaks his promise and says nothing when the guards beat his delirious father on his deathbed. Sorrow is witnessed multiple times throughout the book, the pipel being hanged from the gallows and the inmates cry on the final train. Elie asks himself multiple times, “For God’s sake, where is God? Where He is? This is where - hanging here from the gallows” (65). The tone is enforced when Elie talks about God’s silence.
