Part 5/11:
Through these intertwined stories, characters grapple with existential dilemmas and their responses to suffering—some seek faith, while others become stricken with guilt over their inability to protect those around them. Camus’s exploration of meaning highlights that our responses to suffering can bring personal meaning, even when the suffering itself appears senseless. The Plague not only resonates with current global challenges but also encourages readers to confront their own ethical dilemmas with compassion.
