Night by Elie Weisel

[Yacoubb]

Are these some good points; I'm still working on them:

Humanity:
- The human race continues to maim, torture and kill its own kind.
- Wiesel indicates that humans harbour the inexplicable capacity to perpetrate evil on the innocent.
- The agonising death of the young boy with the "sad face of an angel", whose dimunitive body is hanged by the gallows, metamorphoses into an apocalyptic vision of universal human suffering.
- Wiesel denigrates humanity and confronts it because of its complicity with evil.

The Holocaust is the attempted genocide of the Jews and other minorities:
- The poignant memoir is a tribute to the millions of men, women and children, whose blood has stained the sands of time in a radical attempt to exterminate an entire race of Jews and other minorities in Germany.
- Hitler's inaccurate understanding of Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution of Natural Selection inclinces him to affirm that in order to build the pure, great Germanic race he desires, he must exterminate anyone who does not possess blond hair, blue eyes, etc.
- Hitler's anti-Semitism is thematic alone in the memoir; however, the shortcomings of humanity evidently accompany this facet of the novel.


Constructive criticism would be appreciated. Thank you!
