The Struggle for Human Meaning in Albert Camus’ “The Plague”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the struggle for human meaning in Albert Camus’ “The Plague”. Albert Camus in “The Plague” chronicles the struggle for human meaning in the face of a disenchanted world through the plight of social disintegration, the spread of political manipulation, and the crisis of metaphysical reason and morality. Although Camus states that this work was not one of morality, the struggle for human meaning during the epidemic plague in Oran in the 1940s involves the characters questioning the breakdown of their social and political systems in which they are imprisoned in their own village. During the plague which seems to have no reason in who is killed and who is spared, the characters also struggle to apply some sort of metaphysical sense to the plague. While the village eventually overcomes the plague, Rieux and Tarrou remind the readers that the plague never truly disappears and that everyone contains aspects of the plague; a reminder to the reader that in times of a chaos, human reasoning does not apply. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses the struggle for identity among modern Native American characters in two separate novels. For a people who never questioned who they were or their role in the natural order of life and their place in the world, such an effort becomes one in which cultures clash and the primary characters are forced to determine who they are in the context of their traditional world and the dominant culture of modern America. Louise Erdrich’s “Love Medicine” portrays the results of cultural devastation as well as personal injury and pain, it also shows a way back to health and contentment. Leslie Marmon Silko’s “Ceremony” offers a view that a person must deal with the fact that his body seems to be little more than nothing in the larger, pre-existing, and ceremonial patterns of his people.
