Which character witnesses suffering but tries to maintain some hope?

Eliezer Wiesel, the protagonist in "Night," is a character who witnesses overwhelming suffering throughout the concentration camps but continuously grapples with the need for hope. Despite the extreme conditions, loss, and despair around him, Wiesel finds moments where he clings to the idea of survival and maintains his humanity. His reflections reveal an internal struggle between despair and the desire to find some meaning or reason to keep going.

In contrast, while characters like Juliek and Akiba Drumer also experience suffering and express their thoughts about hope, their journeys highlight more resignation and despair in the face of hopelessness. Madame Schachter, on the other hand, represents a vision of terror that foreshadows the suffering yet to come, and her character ultimately loses hope as she becomes increasingly distraught. Each of these characters illustrates different responses to suffering, but it is Wiesel's persistence in seeking hope amid despair that defines his character's journey.
