Compare how people are changed by their experience in Night and The Complete Maus.
Both texts 'Night' and 'The Complete Maus' are adopted by people who are simplistically constructed to view in a different world. In 'Night', the relationship of Wiesel, the retrospective narrator, and his father is shown in success during the concentration camps at the beginning. In 'The Complete Maus', the relationship of Art and Vladek is accounted differently as characters. Yet these people from both texts prove the changes they undergo in despair; furthermore, they rely on their own journey as they progress their experiences through the events of the Holocausts.

In 'Night', the existence or non-existence of God is a big theme. Elie goes from being a deep believer in questioning his belief. He loses his faith is his whole existence. Elie no longer believes in his faith for "terribly alone in a world without God". In addition, the phrase "turned my dreams to ashes" is a symbol meaning that Elie's dreams are not going to be turned into reality as he have realised that he might not reach to his dreams. Furthermore, that phrase has emphasised with the loss of faith or loss of hope and that evidently implies an ongoing motif "fire".

He has got his "hand tightened its grip on his father" so this evidence shows that he holds onto his father and is determined not to lose him. Similarly, "all he could think of was not to lose him" so leaving his father alone is not an option for him. Elie begins to lose his family, his home and his religious faith. Elie and his father become closer as they relied on each other for the motivation to survive. Elie feels like he is responsible for this father, and is ashamed when he did not try to stop him from being beaten. There was another moment of shame before his father's beating as well. In this moment of shame, it is happened to be that Elie is beginning to feel defeated as he feels himself surrendering to the temptation to look out only for himself (selfishness) and to let his father die. The scene when they are running in the snow, Elie sees the boy leave his father behind and feels shame at having similar thoughts himself. Unfortunately, Elie is no longer having the same strong relationship with his father. Indeed,
