Summary .

After reading the Plague by Albert Camus, I was deeply touched. With a sudden plague as the background, this work vividly depicted people's various performances in the face of disaster, which triggered my profound thinking about human nature, society and the meaning of life.

The complexity and brilliance of human nature

The characters in the book are vivid and show the complex and multifaceted nature of human nature. On the one hand, there are people like Cotard, who reveal a selfish, greedy nature in the face of the plague, who gain a certain profit from the plague, become indifferent and even want the plague to continue. This dark side of human nature alerted me to the fact that in difficult situations, people may act morally out of selfish desires. On the other hand, people like Dr. Rieux and Tarrou show the brilliance of humanity. As the narrator of the story, Dr. Rieu sticks to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, regardless of personal safety, sparing no effort to save the patients, reflecting the benevolence and responsibility of doctors. Tharu spontaneously organized a health team to fight alongside Dr. Rieux, and their behavior made me understand that in the face of disaster, there are always people who choose to stand up bravely, protect others, and show the kindness and selflessness of human nature.

Social fragility and solidarity

The outbreak of the plague suddenly plunged the bustling city of Oran into chaos and panic, and the social order was seriously impacted. People's lives are disrupted, the original daily activities are forced to stop, the city is blocked, the traffic is interrupted, the shortage of materials, and the society seems to be in a state of stagnation. This made me realize the fragility of society, and the stability and prosperity of society can be threatened in the event of a major disaster. However, out of this dilemma, there is also a strength of solidarity. Dr. Rieux, Tarrou and the other volunteers came from different backgrounds, but were united by a common goal to support each other in the fight against the plague. This spirit of solidarity has shown me that in the face of disaster, people can work together across divides to tackle challenges together.

The fragility and tenacity of life

The plague ruthlessly killed one life after another, making people deeply aware of the fragility of life. Patients struggle with illness and face the threat of death, their lives seem so fragile. It made me reflect on the impermanence of life and realize that I should cherish the present and care for the people around me. However, in this vulnerability, there is also the resilience of life. In the face of the plague, Dr. Rieu never gave up hope, and he firmly believed that through hard work, the epidemic could be defeated. His persistence and efforts, let me understand that life has a tenacious willpower, even in adversity, can also burst out a strong vitality.

Inspiration to reality

Although the Plague is created in a specific historical background, the truth it reveals has universal value beyond The Times. At present, we are also facing various challenges, such as the recurrence of the novel coronavirus epidemic and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters. From The Plague, I learned to be vigilant, to stand up bravely in the face of difficulties, and to do my part. At the same time, we should cherish a peaceful and stable living environment, care for others, pass on positive energy, and jointly maintain social harmony and beauty.

In a word, The Plague is a work worth thinking about, which not only makes me feel the charm of literature, but also makes me have a deeper understanding of human nature, society and life. In the future study and life, I will bear in mind the inspiration in the book, and strive to be a person with responsibility, love and courage.
