Bio

In Albert Camus' The Plague, the protagonist is one Dr. Rieux. Faced with a manifestation of the absurd in the form of Yersinia pestis, the doctor understands that the limited resources in his possession mean that he cannot effectively fight the outbreak; in short, his efforts are doomed to come to nothing. Knowing that, he still tries.
