In this paper, Wesiel emphasises the protagonist Eliezer, who is suffering with the psychological anxiety. Elie Weisel’s character in his work Day is supremely psychological concern, if we go through Weisel’s life; we analyze the reasons that his works are expression of his life. Elie Weisel is himself the Holocaust survivor. This novel deals with the theme, after survived of the Holocaust, how does one live in the world.
