    Night is a profound novel about the experiences of Elie Wiesel, a Jewish man, during the Holocaust. Part of the reason why Wiesel eventually renounced his faith was the deep loneliness he felt from God and from others.

    Right off the bat, he and his father are separated from the women in his family. He never sees his sisters or mother again, and he only sees his father briefly before he dies. However, he manages to persist. This shows how Wiesel feels his loneliness acutely, but he continues to survive physically.

    In the novel, loneliness is almost always negative and forced. Their Nazi oppressors dictated their living conditions and their state of being. Had Wiesel a choice, I am sure he would not have chosen to be alone, yet ultimately when he was freed by the Russians he lived most of his life in loneliness from the God he had been imprisoned for.
