No Excuses: Existentialism and the Meaning of Life

Camus-The Plague and The Fall (1x5)

Data emisji: Sty 01, 2000

In this, the most "social" work by Camus, the plague is a metaphor for the absurd. The theme of the novel is impending but unpredictable death, both individual and collective. Camus represents himself (more or less) as Tarrou, who faces the plague with both determination and irony.
