Symbolism Of Death

In Shirley Jackson's "Lottery," she talks about the tradition of a small town that lost its tradition for years. The Shirley black box at the beginning of the story is very important. Black boxes represent traditional traps and change over time. This is temptation to tradition, now it is wearing and irregular, they do not want to change it as it is still traditional. The box changed the perception of lotteries for many people, so it was also possible for people in the town to get a foothold.

Night - The novel's title symbolizes death, innocence, childhood, faith and millions of deaths. The story includes the last night, Sighet last night, last night of Buna, last night with father, last night of not guilty, many last nights. Night symbolizes the world without God. The most serious pain happened in the evening. Wessel believes that God does not live in concentration camps and that God's people can not be relied upon. Fire - Fire represents hell. Mrs. Shachter shouted to the Auschwitz concentration camp in the train. And I told Eliezer 's inferior experience. When burning the hole in the baby, Wiesel's life was hurt. The ghost of the stove bothered Wessel and his prisoners. But the symbol of fire at night is ironic. Fire is no longer a tool for righteous people to punish evil ones. It is a tool for the wicked people to punish the righteous. It stresses that Wessel believes that God has abandoned his people.

Fire is a symbol of the night. According to Erie's explanation (34), the fire and the room are "lobby of hell". Fire is a symbol of death and is said to be the latest moment in the story. Mrs Schechter cried out, "Fire, it saw a big fire!", Suggesting that a fire will occur soon (24). When they arrived at Birkenau, Erie and other prisoners of witness saw a flame in front of them, it was "smell of burning" (28). Flame is a symbol of death and they confront other massacres.

The use of people, places and things to express symbolism or more abstract concepts plays a major role in Elie Wiesel's "night" explaining the experience of Wiesel in Nazi concentration camps. In this work, fire symbolizes death, the body symbolizes spirit, body destruction and death, and symbolizes pain and despair in the evening.
