Has anyone ever read the book night by elie wiesel?

Question

I was wondering what the title "night" means to you. I can't explain really what it means to me.

Answer 1

Night is the first book in a trilogy — Night, Dawn, and Day — reflecting Wiesel's state of mind during and after the Holocaust. The titles mark his transition from darkness to light, according to the Jewish tradition of counting the beginning of a new day from nightfall, from Genesis (1:5): "And there was evening, and there was morning, one day." [8] "In Night," Wiesel said, "I wanted to show the end, the finality of the event. Everything came to an end — man, history, literature, religion, God. There was nothing left. And yet we begin again with night."

Answer 2

Night is an amazing book!!! When i read it....it change my life...its so sad. I guess the title night represents elie wiesel dark time in his life. he also has a couple other books titled Dawn and Day. Though i have not read those books yet i plan too this summer.... hopefully it will be about his happier times.

Answer 4

Well when i read it, it reallt had an impact on me. It was gruesome at times but also an amazing book. What night means to me is that night is a time when scary things or bad things occur, and well Elie went through a lot of that and maybe thats what he was thinking. And in the next book Day (i think, not sure, maybe Dawn) It seems like the awakening after night.

Answer 5

I read "Night" when I was a young teenager and found it an almost unbearably-painful and deeply affecting experience. I reread it recently (many, many years later) and discovered that Elie Wiesel's anguished memoir had lost none of its impact. When the book was reissued (in a new translation), one of the reviewers had described it as "anguish ... metamorphosed into art", which is as good a description as any.

Answer 6

Reading that book was a turning point in my life!! Probably the most defined turning point I've ever had.

I thought it was kind of the same as the candle symbolism in "Schindler's List" (the movie). It was like reason went out, like it was a solid period crazy horror, one big long night. I think hope and goodness is associated with the sun a lot, and I think he wanted to show how that'd all gone out, and metaphorically, night had come.

(Oh, in "Schindler's List", in case you haven't seen it, the first scene in the movie is in color, of a candle. It burns out and the color fades away, and the movie's almost entirely in black in white until the very end, when the war's over and someone lights the candle again, and then the movie is in color once more.)

Answer 7

Night as said above, represents a dark and scarry time. It also represents how in some concentration camps when it was dark and every one was sleeping was the only time for your self, it was kind of a good thing. So the title to me means there is alway a liitle light is a dark spot, no matter how small the light is.

Answer 8
