Feast in the time of the plague. The period after the World War I was quite hard for people who were disillusioned. They suffered because of the lives lost and were unaware of what their goals were and what they could amount to.

Symbolism in Camus’ "The Plague" For the first essay for Integrative Studies 300 I would like to write on the Camus work‚ The Plague. Since Albert Camus has a philosophical view unlike that of many western writers‚ the book can serve as an excellent reflection on an unpopular view of life‚ living‚ and death.
