Twelfth Night is known for being one of the finest romantic comedies of all time. The play begins with love at first sight‚ which then gradually transitions into a love triangle.

In a fraction of a second I could see my mother‚ my sisters moving to the right (29).” I find that this is Wiesel’s purpose for writing Night because this quote starts his journey in the Holocaust. This is the selection process in which Wiesel and his father are separated from their family; his mother and his sisters. It’s the last time that they would ever see each other. Another reason

Shakespeare was a man that established his name in history books as a great writer. One of Shakespeare’s many sparks of innovative genius which laminated these pages was his use of masks. Masks are used throughout Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” as a character would choose to wear their selected mask to fit in to the particular situation.

Elie Wiesel is one of the few jews who got take away during the holocaust‚ and survived. Elie tells of his experience in his book‚ Night. In Night‚ dehumanization played a huge role in the horrors that occurred‚ because it was much easier for a nazi to kill hundreds of jews at a time if they were thought of as no more than a roach. Though dehumanization is not something that happens immediately; it takes slowly removing all their freedoms and personal possessions‚ until they don’t have a name anymore
