This paper delves into a comparative examination of the novel The Plague by Albert Camus in light of the Covid-19 crisis. Through a careful analysis, this paper aims to highlight the uncanny parallels between the fictional world depicted in The Plague and the real-life circumstances surrounding the global pandemic. The paper explores the shared situations, predicaments faced by characters, and the pivotal choices they must make within the constraints of their respective crises, drawing attention to the surprising similarities with our current time. By presenting compelling arguments, this study seeks to underscore the relevance of the themes and similarities found in The Plague as they relate to the unprecedented challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
