Answer 2

In Night, Elie Wiesel recounts his memories of the concentration camps in which he was a prisoner from 1944-45. When telling the incident of the man attempting to strangle him, the author is trying to introduce two themes. First, the author wants to show how horrible situations, such as being in a concentration camp, can so affect people that they start behaving in cruel and irrational ways. Second, the author wants to show how, while being in the camps, you needed to be aware of the danger posed by both the guards and your fellow prisoners.
