Quote explaining meaning-"Pressed tightly against one another, in an effort
to resist the cold, our heads empty and heavy, our brains a whirlwind of decaying
memories. Our minds numb with indifference here or elsewhere, what did it matter? Die today or tomorrow or later? The night was growing longer, never ending. (Wiesel, Pg.98)"
Why the quote explains the meaning
This quote explains the meaning of "Night" because it shows how demoralizing and how everlasting the walk and the cold was to Elie. It didn't matter whether the Jews
died or not, it was realized that all Elie wants is the Night to end.. Forever. He wants this hell to end not only for him but for all Jews.
