Father Son Relationship In Night By Elie Wiesel

Group one had presented an analysis of father-son relationships in the memoir of Night. In their presentation, they talked about many aspects of this topic which I thought was very interesting. Firstly, this group had pointed out that in dire situations families come closer, and tend to depend on each other even more. I definitely agree with this statement. For example, in the memoir, Elie says: “I had no right to let myself die.

The relationship was seemed to be non-existent. Although the relationship between the two was little Elie still admired his father, following footsteps and helping and learning as much as possible. Till one unfortunately things were about to escalate to a whole new level. One day Elie has found himself someone who calls himself Moshe the Beadle. Unfortunately Moshe has been deported and when he returned

Elie questioned and changed both relationships with his fathers when facing immense hardship. The difference between the deterioration

To Elie, his father is his only source of moral support, motivation, and trust. Until the very end, the kinship between Elie and his father allows them to stand strong together in all circumstances. As a result, familial ties are essential for Elie

And he had continued to run in front, letting the distance between them become greater.” Rabbi Eliahu’s son had shown that he valued self preservation over family commitment by making no effort to help his father through the run. He had decreed his father to be a burden upon himself and had left him behind which displays no sense of family

In the beginning Elie had little to no relationship with his father. His father did not have much time for Elie, because he was involved with the welfare of others than his own family.(Wiesel 4) In Chapter 3 after arriving at the camp Birkenau. Elie and his father gained a closer bond, because they are separated from the rest of their family and the two of them only have each other. (Wiesel 29)

The reason Elie survived was because he had his dad by his side, pushing him to do his best and to

Elie and his father attempted to give solace to each other while in the concentration camps. For instance, when talking about Elie’s mother and sister, both Elie and his father portrayed optimism and assured one

When they first arrived at Auschwitz Elie and his father looked to each other for support and survival, Sometimes Elie’s father being the only thing keeping him alive. In their old community Elie’s father was a strong-willed and respected community leader, as the book went on you could see how the roles were becoming reversed he was becoming weaker and more reliant on Elie to take care of him. Their father son bond had always been strong and only grew stronger with the things they had to endure. “My God, Lord of the Universe, give me strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahou’s son has done” Elie was disgusted when he saw Rabbi Eliahou’s son abandon his father to help improve his chances of his survival he prayed he’d never do such a thing, but as his father becoming progressively more reliant on Elie he started to see his father as more of a burden than anything else.

An of the comparison rabbi Eliahu and His Son with Eli and His Father In the book, “Night” Rabbi Eliahu loved his father just as Eli love his father. No matter what was happening, their relationship’s were really strong. Their relationships weren 't that similar. Each father and son had their own struggles.

Family; a blessing, or a curse? In the book Night, Elie Wiesel offers many significant themes, but the question, “is family a blessing or a curse,” is one of the most prevalent and begging themes in the novel. During the novel, Wiesel often questions if he should try and keep his father around, or if life would just be better without him in the picture. “‘Don’t let me find him! If only I could get rid of this dead weight, so that I could use all my strength to struggle for my own survival, and only worry about myself,’ I immediately felt ashamed of myself, ashamed forever,” (Wiesel, 111).

Think of a circumstance where you were so hungry and thirsty, that you did not even care to think about your father anymore. That circumstance goes against common father-son relationships. The common father-son motif is where the father looks out and cares for the son. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, he explains why the circumstances around a father-son relationship can change their relationship, whether it 's for the better or the worse. Since the book is about the life of Elie in a Nazi concentration camp, the circumstances were harsh and took a toll on multiple father-son relationships.

The relationship of elie and his father changed when his father started to get weak and elie needed to take care of him. For example, when the father of Elie got weak, Elie needed to bring him food because the father couldn't stand by himself. Consequently, a random person came and told eli to stop giving him his rations of food because he was going to die anyways. As an effect, Elie thought about it and got really sad because he knew he was going to die. As a result, Elie's

They are separated. Elie runs after his father, and while the SS officers cause a commotion trying to catch him, both he and his father are able to escape to the other side, the ‘safe’ side. The last reason Elie’s father was his motivation wasn’t at one specific point, but throughout the whole book. Every time Elie ran after his father, or told him to do something to protect him, Elie was protecting his father and Vice

Eliezer’s relationship with his father contrast with other father-son relationships because they
