The Plague

Albert Camus

Novel

Page 33

• The narrator – Dr.Rieux – notes the importance of the word “Plague” where he now seems to realize the explicit connections between the Plague and the war.
• Joseph Grand keeps appearing in the book – what does he represent?
• Dr.Rieux started to notice the humanity in Grand. Grand never got past menial work, but he doesn’t harshly complain about it. I think Dr.Rieux is portraying Grand as a character with some heroic potential.
