A review by zander_egervari
The Plague by Albert Camus

It was interesting to see Absurdism's classic three responses on full display. The first option is seen in Cottard, who is burdened by guilt. After his failed attempt on his life, he finds refuge in other people suffering until the plague's abrupt conclusion, which he is ill-equipped to handle. The second option is demonstrated through Father Paneloux, who tries to control the masses and provide asylum in religion. However, after a rattling incident, Paneloux's faith in God shatters, finding himself forsaken amongst the masses. As for the third option, Rieux and a couple of others recognize the absurd and their probable demise but find meaning in their lives by treating others. Overall great read, The Plague is an excellent exhibition of the philosophy of absurdism.

Also cool to see Camus make references to his other works
