Synopsis: | The Plague is set in Oran, Algeria, a city struck by plague multiple times in its history. As thousands of rats start dying, city officials gather them quickly to prevent any public panic. Unfortunately, their very act of burning the rats only serves to further the spread of an airborne infection. Soon increasing numbers of the populace start dying. Authorities are slow to act even as the main protagonist, Dr. Rieux, insists that something must be done after his friend Michel dies. Both the bureaucracy and the populace at large don't want to admit the existence of the plague because it would require action and it would destroy the future and their hopes. In time, however, ever stricter measures are required, leading eventually to the quarantine of the entire city. Many of the characters respond to the plague in keeping with their characters. Dr. Rieux and his colleague Dr. Castel work to treat the ill and develop a serum. The oily town Prefect tries to maintain order, and the town magistrate Monsieur Othon follows the law without question even when it means quarantine for himself and his son. | |||||
