Camus' The Plague and Wiesel's Night
[ send me this paper ]
The first passage from Night, by Eli Wiesel and the last passage from The Plague by Albert Camus present the soul and meaning of the works by these artists. Both books are written with the atrocities of World War II as the foundation. Wiesel's rendition is direct, telling the story of a survivor of the Jewish extermination camps in Germany.

Albert Camus’ The Plague As Political Allegory
[ send me this paper ]
The Plague by Albert
Camus is not generally considered as a political treatise but, rather,
as a philosophical work on the subject of ethics. Camus believes that
the evils that lie in wait for the unsuspecting can be battled through
knowledge and the ability to learn from the mistakes of history. This 5
page critique argues that the reactions of most when confronted by
something as insidious and seemingly natural as the plague and, or,
fascism is fear; and fear tends to make followers out of people. The
denial that evolves from fear assists those seeking power to intimidate
and control. No additional sources are listed.

Fascism, Rats and The Plague
[ send me this paper ]
The Plague by Albert Camus is a thinly disguised treatise against the totalitarian states of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The analogy of the plague as compared with the encroachment and devastating effect of these political forces is obvious, given the time of the writing and the known views of the author. This 8 page paper suggests that there also exists a comparison between the rats that brought the plague and fascist philosophy. The question is asked: How is the return of the rats interpreted through the fascist philosophy as presented by Giovanni Gentile? To answer this, the first section gives background information on Fascism, the second section deals with Gentile and his philosophies and the final section looks at the metaphor of the rat as presented in The Plague. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Camus & Wiesel/A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page analysis of The Plague by Albert Camus and Night by Elie Wiesel. At first glance, these two works appear to be very dissimilar; however, the writer argues that they actually have quite a few points in common. Wiesel's book concerns the Holocaust and Camus' work appear to be about a plague hitting the French town of Oran. However, Camus' work is intended to be read as an allegory and this story, also, deals with the ravages committed against the human soul by Nazism. No additional sources cited.
