1. Based on your reading thus far of Night and your own feelings about human nature do you think that hope was a blessing or a curse for the Jews of Sighet? Explain square

In "Night" by Elie Wiesel, hope can be seen as both a blessing and a curse for the Jews of Sighet. Initially, hope provided them with the strength to endure unimaginable suffering and brutality in the concentration camps. It fueled their resilience and determination to survive amidst extreme adversity. However, as the atrocities mounted and the reality of their situation became increasingly bleak, hope began to transform into a cruel illusion, prolonging their agony and delaying acceptance of their dire circumstances. Ultimately, hope became a double-edged sword, sustaining them through dark times while also preventing them from confronting the harsh truth of their fate.
