Elie Wiesel’s changed his view on God throughout the memoir and how it affected his identity.
The first time Elie started to doubt his faith was when they were in line to go to the crematoria. “Four the first time, I felt anger
rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for? (Night 33) When Elie said this he was meaning “Why should i still believe in God? If he was real he wouldn’t be killing all these people. Why is he killing all these people that have done nothing wrong?”
Elie started to doubt his faith about God again was when Elie said “ I know longer pleaded for anything. I was no longer able to lament. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused” (Night 68) When Elie said this he meant that he that he didn’t know what to believe so he wasn’t going to believe in him anymore.
Another time Elie doubt his faith was when he said “ I did not fast. FIrst of all, to please my father who had forbidden me to do so. And then, there was no longer any reason for me to fast. I no longer accepted God’s silence. As i swallowed my ration against Him.” (Night 69) When Elie said this he has completely given up on the thought of trying to believe in God. He couldn’t see at everything God had done for him.
