Plague
About This Novel
"The Plague" takes place in Oran, a small city in North Africa. It is an ordinary and peaceful city. However, the arrival of the plague broke this calm. One night in April, Dr. Rieux was walking out of the clinic when he stumbled over a dead rat. He didn't pay much attention at first. A few days later, tens of thousands of rats died en masse, and the drains were filled with dead rats. A wave of panic swept through the city. Immediately afterwards, Rieux discovered the first patient, who had symptoms such as vomiting, high fever, and swollen lymph nodes. He realized that this could be a highly lethal infectious disease. However, city officials deliberately concealed the epidemic in order to protect their power. Soon, the epidemic spread rapidly, and the government finally issued a plague warning and the city was locked down. This city has completely become an island. In Camus's works, in the face of crisis, different characters made completely different choices, but ordinary people led by Rieux always fought against the plague in their own way.
