But sadly, some authorities turn a blind eye on them which leads to injustice and ultimately for history to repeat itself.

(Even gloomy Nietzsche recognized the importance of strains of humor in an otherwise serious opus). Camus wrote The Plague while bedridden with tuberculosis in an Alpine sanatorium while all hell had broken loose in Europe of the early forties, and could not have fathomed the horrific outcome of what was taking place given his isolation and the early going of the war. When The Plague was published after Hitler's defeat it received sudden acclaim for the wrong reason, namely that the novel was one huge metaphor with fascism equated with his deadly pest. I am a great admirer of Camus but not one either subscribing to this theory. The Plague is an Algerian based drama and stands on its own magnificent legs, with no ties to the Axis whatsoever I fear. All this as a point of background and curiosity. On strict literary merit The Plague is a significant be it somewhat somber work.

I don't find him a 'blank-slate' at all. Dr Rieux does not need to have any divine rationale for all the innocent deaths, he does not need the shoulder of a priest to cry on because he cares about humanity at the deepest level, with no conditions and no strings attached.

I'm thrilled to find another fan of The Plague, which is, I think, Camus's greatest work. I agree with you absolutely that the experience of the war altered Existentialism from being a pure phenomenologically based philosophy into an engaged form of literture deeply concerned with ethics. Camus was always a little further down this path than Sartre, although Sartre's post-war lecture was the publicity-stealer for the change. Great review of the book! Type your comment here.

One line where a character sees someone in a darkened cafe as a 'shade among shadows' hit me so hard. Read The Plague about 10 years ago, found it strangely poetic.
