The plague is an allegory on the subject of evil a reflection on the lessons that WWII taught, or should have taught mankind(Pierre, J Galegroup). Camus also makes this book a parable about the need to band together to resist fascism, but it does not certain any characters who are communists. Camus shows his underlying pessimism about politics. The story "the plague" was written to revolt, to go beyond fear and use human freedom in the struggle, rather than abandoning freedom fore the sake of comfort. the plague stands out among Camus's work as a balanced, yet optimistic answer about society (pierre, j, galegroup)

This book is a symbolic account of the fight against an epidemic, by characters who, while aware that their efforts are in vain, work on to try to ease the suffering of their fellow citizens. The plague is Camus longest and most elaborate work of fiction. It is also the most anti-christian piece of writing the plague recognized the hopelessness of the existing but made a convincing case for ethical engagement. This book also has no symbolic equivalence for the humiliation of the suffering inflicted upon man. in the 1950's Camus devoted his efforts to human rights struggles around the world and in 1957 was awarded Nobel Prize in Literature. while Camus remained widely read folowwing his death, he has nevertheless lost his status among critics and ita academy.
