In Elie Wiesel’s memoir‚ Night‚ holocaust survivor Eliezer suffers from one of the most painful events in human history: the Jewish Holocaust.

The play twelfth night‚ though largely a comedy‚ has it’s fair share of challenges and obstacles which it’s characters face throughout the plot. These revolve around love‚ honour and the death and loss of loved ones.
