In the book Night by Elie Wiesel Mrs. Shacter is a very important character, even though she only says a few things. While they are riding the train Mrs. Shacter keeps yelling things such as, "Look! Look at this terrible fire! Have mercy on me!". She continues to scream things about a fire that she sees, but everyone thinks she is crazy and just ignores her. Mrs. Shacter symbolizes the fear and uncertainty that the Jews have about where they are going, what is going to happen, and the crematoria.
Part II.
In the book, Elie has his gold crown ripped from his tooth. This represents the greediness of the Nazis. They went through the trouble to hold Elie down to get a tiny piece of gold from his mouth. They also did this to take every bit of wealth from the Jews as possible. They wanted them to have no wealth whatsoever. They wanted to make them less like humans and more like animals as much as possible.
