This paper analyses Albert Camus’s novel The Plague (1947) and by studying Covid-19 delineates the sameness of the situation as presented in the text and as in the world due to Covid-19. The paper aims to find similarities between the state and situation of humans, specifically, and the world, all in all, generally. By explaining the absurdism and fear of the Other in times of contagion and pandemic, this research aims at explaining the isolated selves of people. The paper pinpoints the fact that times may change but human behaviors stay the same, out and out. This paper fills the gap in the field of Covid-19 studies and relates one time to another, with one thing written down and another appearing before humans. Self-isolation, fear, death, defiance, and imprisonment of mind are the subject matters explored in this study. Not only this but also, Covid-19 and the details of the plague in the novel are studied side by side. |
