Plague - Epidemic Literature

Plague - Epidemic Literature

Hello readers!

                         Here I would like to write blog about Plague - Epidemic Literature. The plague, a novel about a virus that spreads uncontrollably from animals to human and ends up destroying half the population of a representative modern town.

                        As we know that, lockdown period is going on and the meeting of people would be impossible at all, But with the helo of technology everything is possible, and our Department of English always follow process is going on with the help of  technology. So this blog is of our study.

                           We all know that Covid 19 epidemic is going to affect all walks of our lives. Our creative and critical abilities will forever be governed by corona virus Pandemic. It is going to open those areas in creating writing and critical reading of literature which were rather not thought as we were in anesia of Pandemic. 

                             So hear I would wrote about The 1994 Plague in India was an out break of bubonic and plague in south - central and western India. The plague was endemic in populations of infected ground rodents in Asia and was a known canse of death among the migrant and established human populations in that religion for centuries. 

• The plague - Albert camus

               The plague is a novel by Albert camus, published in 1947,that tells the story of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of oran. It asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and thr human condition.

                    The novel is behaved to be based on the cholera epidemic that killed a large proportion of Oran's population in 1849 following french colonization but the novel is set in the 1940s.The plague is considered an existentialist classic despite camus objection to the label. 

                     In this novel camus put himself directly into the characters of the novel, using three of them in particular to represent his moral perspective. This is the authentic voice of camus and it sketches out the position he would take towerds ideology dogma, political or judicial murder. Camus was thenceforth separated not just from his honeland but also from is mother and his wife.

• Humanity - human self - centerendness vs human sacrifice 

           Albert camus tall about the idea of self centerendness vs human sacrifice. He has put character to justify his points. There is Doctor Bernard Riveux who is performing his duty well. Rieux is a man who faced with suffering and common crisis, does what he must and becomes a leader and an example, not out of heroic courage or careful reasoning. But rather from a sort of necessary optimism. His obsession with his personal suffering makes him indifferent to the larger tragedy. From which he feels quite detached. Dr Riveux does the right thing just because he see clearly what needs doing. These two seems well example of human sacrifice. There is social unrest among these kinds of people.

• Science versus religion - the question of God and religion in times of epidemics and calamities. 

             
                           We all know that The difficulty in approaching the question of the relation and Science is that its education requires that we have in our minds some clear idea of what we meen by either of the terms, 'religion' and 'science'. Mostly during calamities or epidemic times it takes. Another shape. Science has other reason regarding the problems during epidemics and religion. Gave different kind of answers to it. "The plage" we know this kind of conflict when Dr. Rieux has seen death of all diseased people including innocent children.

• Power of politics - fascist forces of 1940s vs surveillance socaity of 2020s.

                          Political power is institutionalized in the form of large scale government bureaucracies. One of the persistent ideas has been that group political power concerns the activities of the states which is not confined to national boundaries. The network of political power can stretch across contries and across the globe.

                      In present time people belives in vorona has something to do with God's rage. This is definitely not the time of listening forecasting by astrologers. But the main problem is that people are living with indifference as if nothing happens. Some people are definitely doing their best to fight with this pandamic.
