In the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel uses fear to show his struggles through the unknown, his near death experiences, and the difficulties he faces as he takes care of his father. Elie is first introduced to the ghettos he, his family, and his community face the fear of the unknown and what their future holds as they stay in the ghettos. Then being moved, by train, to a labor and death camp Elie learns to fear death, to fear selection. Throughout the time Elie spent at Auschwitz he obtained the role of looking after his father. These situations all tie back into fear. Elie fears the unknown, death, and his father's safety, all of which he overcame.
