And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!...”. I wasn’t really surprised how Elie reacted when he found out that his father died because he wasn’t that same boy in the beginning of the book. Also he takes it as if it were a pain of his back. And I don’t blame him for his reaction because throughout the book, he has to do a lot for his father could live, by teaching him things like how to march, and what to do with the selection, etc, and even when they took his father from him in the selection, he took the risk of going after him and making a panic that made everybody get out of hand. And now that his father died, I can understand that Elie worrying of his father if he was dying, or a SS guard was going to kill him, or prisoners killing, or because his health was bad, wasn’t going to be a Problem or something to think about anymore.

In Elie Wiesel's’ holocaust memoir, Night, the impression of night itself is a constant burden that never seems too far out of reach for Elie.

The meaning or significance of this in the novel is its representation of both the uncertainty and darkness that are inevitably brought along with the night, which hopelessly surrounds those who suffered as victims in

This can be seen in the novel as it took one night for Elie Wiesel’s faith to be consumed. In addition, the nighttime is a symbol referring to something sinister which aids the reader’s understanding of the theme. An example of this can be viewed on page 65 which states “For God’s sake, where is God?” And from within me, I heard a voice answer: “Where He is? This is where-hanging here from this gallows…”
