Final answer:
In 'Night' by Elie Wiesel, Franek coerces Elie to give up his gold crown by beating his father, causing Elie to surrender the crown to protect his father from further pain.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to an event from Elie Wiesel's book Night, which is a memoir of his experiences during the Holocaust. Franek, the foreman, wants to take Elie's gold crown. He forces Elie by repeatedly attacking his father, causing him pain and suffering.
As Elie is very attached to his father and wishes to protect him from harm, he ultimately gives in to Franek's demand to have the gold crown removed from his tooth, despite Elie's initial resistance. The dentist who performs the extraction is a Jewish prisoner who uses a rusty spoon to pry the crown out of Elie's mouth.
