'Moche The Beadle' By Elie Wiesel: Character Analysis

Have you ever had a day where you were excited and then someone made you so angry, you could hardly stand it? As humans, we are constantly changing and adapting to fit our environment. Humans also can have mood changes due to age, rough times or any other difficult driving force. In the book “Night”, by Elie Wiesel, Elie experienced many changes because of what he experiences. Elie had to change in order to survive and keep his loved ones by his side. Over the course of the book, Elie evolved the way he acted towards people, loved ones, and the things he thought he knew to be true.

Have you ever changed or have the people around you changed out of survival? People who survived the holocaust changed because of what they went through so they could survive. Just like Elie he survived Auschwitz and he will never be the same person he was before the concentration camps. In “Night” by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie developed into a new person through his experiences at Auschwitz Concentration Camp and survived.

No matter when and where you live, there will always be a possibility that genocide could be committed. There could be a world in which every piece of technology is state of the art, society is progressing, and individual people are inspired to prosper. Yet, a populace of people could still be genocided under no repercussions from any civilians and government members.An eon such as this occurred about 78 years ago, in the year of 1944. An appalling tragedy known as the Holocaust was in full swing with the fascist dictator, Adolf Hitler in charge of the Nazi regime. People were suffering, becoming people they didn’t even know they could be. One example of this is in the book Night by Elie Wiesel. The main character, Elie, transforms into a different person through his suffering that he encountered in the extermination camps. Before the war, Elie was ardent, faithful, and motivated. He then transformed into hating god, losing all of his motivation, and having outright disgust in people.

In the book Dawn by Elie Wiesel, a young man, Elisha, survived World War II. At the end

“The Red Army is advancing with giant strides… Hitler will not be able to harm us, even if he wants to…” (8). The quote comes from a novel, Night, by Eliezer Wiesel, who was a survivor throughout the Holocaust. Elie and his father are the protagonists as they strive and suffer to survive the rough times. The two gentlemen are split apart from the rest of their family when they arrive at Auschwitz. On a daily basis, Elie and his father went through hell, whether it was being whipped or just being screeched at. Time passed by at a tremendously slow rate. Elie’s father was sick for weeks, but Elie couldn’t help rather than giving up his ration of bread and soup every day. Day after day, being sick and tired had finally come to an end. The U.S.

As humas we are constantly changing and adaping to fit our envionment. Humans also can have mood changes due to age, rough times or any other driving force.

Over the course of the book, Elie changed the way he acted towards people, loved ones, and things he knew to be true.

Amel shook his head, sighing. He looked disappointed. I had finally quelled the happiness in him. Or, so I thought, until he gave me a small smile. "I'm sure living here for as long as you have has been taxing. The people here are so sad and violent, but they don't want to listen, Cerin. Hope, joy, and love... they don't have to hide very well here. There are so many distractions, so many fake things they tell themselves, that any virtue is easily covered up. God could give us so much food, we'd never ever starve, or so enough money for absolutely everyone to live in a nice house, or even heal all the sick and raise our dead loved ones, and we still wouldn't believe in Him. But He shouldn't even have to do any of that, He already made us, and

I believe that Rebecca Skloot included this quote from Elie Wiesel as it represents how important each person really is. This quote says that every person is different and inside of them is something special, their own personal hopes and fears. This quote comes from a man who spent time in a concentration camp as a number, and being labeled doesn't make you feel very special, such is the case with the HeLa cells. The cells, which came from a real person, were labeled in such a way that whose they were didn't matter, the same as the number given to the Jewish people in the Holocaust. The quote also goes on to mention how each person wants to triumph, to succeed in whatever their goal may be. For Elie this may have been to survive and help

People can always change. A lot of people changed due to concentration camps such as Auschwitz. In the book ¨Night¨by Eli Wiesel, Elie was one of the characters that changed due to concentration camps. In the book ¨Night¨ by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie, changed as a person due to his experience at Auschwitz.

The advance of Hitler and his soldiers were daunting. Although, the German citizens had nothing to fear and went on with their daily routines and lived life as nothing had happened. Fortunately, the Germans were not disrupted nearly as much as the unfortunate Jewish population facing mass genocides. Wrenched out of their homes, forced into the ghettos, and losing all of their civil rights, the Jews were punished and they were no longer being treated like citizens or people by the Nazis. As the Jews were decried, the majority of German citizens did not lend a helping hand. The German townspeople in the novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, remained satisfied, despite the detention of the Jews because they neglected the appalling actions against the Jews,

People’s emotions may conflict them with their moral duty. It may be a personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, or some other emotion which may affect their duties to be accomplished. In Dawn by Elie Wiesel, a young boy named Elisha is set free from the camps of the Holocaust and joins a terrorist group to kill John Dawson as a revenge to the British for executing David ben Moshe. He has till dawn to complete his duty. Through, heartbreak and a desire for revenge Elisha is motivated to kill an innocent man (John Dawson), but finds it difficult to take out this responsibility given upon him by his group.

In the novel Knight written by Eliezer Wiesel, many themes may be found when he is displaying his life story. In Wiesel’s time through the Holocaust, he had to face what seemed to be never-ending hardships. Hundreds of thousands of people were broken due to these course of events. Among these broken people, they all had one characteristic that was very much the same; they all lost faith in one way or another.

I hated Eli, correction, I really hated Eli. I wanted to kill him. It was a trap, I knew that going in. No good would come from it but if I didn't ask her today he would slap me and look disappointed at me for at least a month. Ugh! Could I be doing anything else? Could I be hitchhiking through Europe? No, I had to do this. But why? I could walk across hot coals barefoot with no quarrel. Somehow this seemed more like jumping off a cliff blindfolded. I guess that’s what this story is about. How I jumped off a cliff, and blamed someone else.

What is it like to be a prisoner of war? Very few ever live to tell the tale. There are survivors though. Among these survivors is Elie Wiesel. Elie Wiesel survived the Auschwitz concentration camp at the age of thirteen. Elie wrote a book to tell his story of how he survived the horrors of the Holocaust. Elie’s account details his daily life as a prisoner. Throughout the entire book, In “Night” by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie, changes as a person because of his experiences at Auschwitz.

Moché the Beadle’s story is very disturbing. He had experienced horrible atrocities and risked his life to warn his fellow townspeople. However, the latter did not believe him yet alone listen to him. They called him the madman. This passage is hard for the reader, who knows what is going to happen to the Jews later on (situational irony). Moché was also foreshadowing what was going to happen to the Jews. This warning also brings about the postulation that many Jews could have escaped the Holocaust had they believed in the some firsthand testimonies.
