Elie Wiesel uses repetition to create contradicting tones of sorrow and relief .
He feels so much pain and the memories only deepen his .
sorrow. Then when his father is taken away he is relieved that the "dead weight" is .
finally gone.
Wiesel's memories from the past caused him so much suffering that his .
mental anguish and sorrow is unbelievable. For example when he says, "Never .
shall I forget that nocternal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire .
to live." The silence of the terrified men stole everything from him. The silence .
also condemed him to sorrow and memories of those awful years. For instance .
when he says, " Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith .
forever." The faith he had in God was taken away from him by those first flames. .
Everything he believed in was demolished in only a matter of minutes, but the .
memories still linger on. Wiesel will never be able to forget those painful memories .
of the silence or of the flames.
Wiesel's father was loved dearly, but he was thought of as a burrden and a .
problem by his only son. For example, " I did not weep, and it pained me that I .
could not weep." He and his father had been through so much and yet his father's .
death didn't faze him. The reason why he couldn't weep after so long is because he .
felt relieved. For instance when he thinks, " --Free at last!" This shows that he felt .
tied down, with his father as his burrden. He felt that his father was weakening him .
and shortening his chances of surviving the next selection. Even though Wiesel was .
being held back by his father, he never left his side or lost hope in his persuit for .
freedom.
Wiesel overcomes his sorrow from the first night at camp. In a way he gets .
used to the idea that people are being killed everyday. His life becomes nothing but .
the worries of getting his bread and soup and making it through the next selection. .
He constantly worries about his father and then he feels relief after his father is .
