"When I'm God, Everyone Dies"
Authors devote considerable time to generating appropriate titles. The Holy Scriptures commence with our Creator's molding of the universe and the Earth. In these ordained beginnings, Earth was "Without form, and void; and darkness is upon the face of the deep" (Genesis 1:2, King James Version). God then creates light, expelling this darkness. Therefore, darkness and night symbolize a world without God's presence in Elie Wiesel's novel "Night". In the novel, it was always night when suffering was
When the prisoners initiate their heinous run from Buna, everything is "pitch darkness". Spawning from this collapse of God is the genocide of millions at the hands of the Nazis. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into a wreath of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. It is night when Eliezer arrives at Auschwitz. When Eliezer witnesses the vehement end of "angel", his maturing philosophy of existentialism emerges. He looses sight of the Jewish Faith and plunges into darkness. He discards his religion because of absolute evil. The camp was moved at night so the prisoners wouldn't know their exact location. His blind faith could not save him from the events that transpired in "night". When Eliezer witnesses this horror first hand, his blind faith is hastily abolished. He is left empty, with only bitterness, question and doubt to fill the void. NIght falls, and Eliezer is only left with feelings of loneliness and abandonment. The tone of the book is dark, with the Jewish community living in a continuous night.
