Sample: In Night, Juliek, the Polish inmate, becomes fixated on his violin, even on the brink of death, because he is trying to achieve a sense of security and safety. Juliek, piled into the barracks with other virtually lifeless inmates, attempts to play one last song on his violin, what Elie describes as a "concert given before an audience of the dead and dying" (95). In this moment, Juliek is emaciated like the other Jews, yet has perhaps given up on food, shelter, water, and even air. Because he no longer recognizes those physiological needs, his motivation changes to focus on comfort and security: his violin playing. Therefore, Juliek playing a concerto in front of an audience hearkens back to a safer, more comforting time, allowing him to fulfill his needs.
