静かにさせてくれ to mean something like "let me have peace"


This question is about the usage of 静かにさせてくれ. At first I would have thought
this to be used to ask someone to have someone else be quiet e.g. someone
asking a parent to have their kid be quiet. But I also saw it in a different
context where it seemed to imply something along the lines of "let me have
peace and quiet". I say this because if they were just asking the person to be
silent they would have said 静かにしてください which is different.

If my understanding of this usage is correct, can anyone explain I guess how
this works grammatically as I'm not sure what を would be attached to if the
sentence was said without dropping.




静かにさせてくれ literally means "(Please do me a favor and) let me be quiet", so "Let
me have piece" is the closer translation. The implied を-marked agent of させる is
私 ("me"), although 私を/俺を/etc is almost always dropped in a sentence like this.

～させてくれ/～させてください is a common pattern.

  * 行かせてくれ Allow me to go.
  * 俺を笑わせてくれ Make me laugh.
