In Part IV of "Night" a lot of action seems to be going on. Actions like: Jews getting their gold crowns taking out of their mouths, and a whole lot of hanging and death. Something that Wiesel says is, "I remember that on that evening, the soup tasted better than ever." But later he says, "That night the soup tasted like corpse." The taste of the soup relates very closely to the way he's feeling because towards the end of that part, a lot of Jews are being killed. So it seems that when he's eating at the end of the part, all he can think about is the hangings that were performed and how death is possibly right around the corner for me and that the thought of death could be haunting him. But towards the middle things seemed to be going somewhat his way, his crown being taken out of his mouth kept getting delayed by the first "dentist" and at some points he was able to work with his father so he must have been feeling alright, and probably pretty hungry, for the soup to taste somewhat good. But as the end of the part approached his feelings towards everything and the totally unacceptable deaths kept haunting him and that could have been what caused the soup to have a different taste and taste like corpse, or maybe they made the soup with the dead Jew's bodies?
