Question

The following question refers to Night by Elie Wiesel. How does Wiesel react when his father is slapped by the Gypsy?

Answer 1

This infuriates Wiesel. He feels that he has changed drastically. He believes that if someone had slapped his father under different circumstances he would've jumped to his father's defense and retaliated. However, he just stands there. He begins to feel remorse and promises that he "will never forgive them for this".
