Narration Supposing Books Caligula

Ange en quête d'absolu ? Monstre sanguinaire ? Avant la guerre, Albert Camus conçoit Caligula, ainsi que Sisyphe ou Meursault (L'Étranger), comme un héros de l'Absurde. En 1945, la pièce est reçue comme une fable sur les horreurs du nazisme. Ses versions et ses mises en scène successives, l'évolution de la sensibilité du public ont contribué à faire de Caligula une des figures les plus troublantes de notre théâtre. À l'image du tyran se superposent, dans notre mémoire, les visages de Gérard Philipe, qui créa le rôle, et celui d'Albert Camus, qui mêla toujours au besoin de tendresse et à l'exigence de pureté une étrange «fixation au meurtre» et «cette violence intérieure» (Jean Grenier) qui anime son empereur romain.

Commentary Epithetical Books Caligula

Highly recommended.

This play by Camus on the concept of absurd is based upon the Lives of the Twelve Caesars by the Latin historian, Suetonius. According to the work, Caius Caesar Caligula, third of the twelve Caesars, who came to power in 37AD at the age of twenty-five, ruled for four years until he was assassinated in 41AD by his Patricians.*The reason of his assassination was his cruelty against everyone, which led him to murder people on whims. There are different accounts on his changed state of mind after

Simple, yet ravishing play! It will never grow out of fashion because we are all existentialists, even without realizing it! Camus's play shows how rationality and logic can also be found in irrationality. I deeply recommend it!

The Entire review is pretty much a spoiler, in some aspect, for the play by Albert Camus, Caligula. "Men die; and they're not happy." Death makes a mockery of everything we adhere values and virtues close to all our lives. Camus depicts an anomaly via Caligula Caius Caesar, one of the Roman Empire known for his eccentric administration, if not for his cruelty and killing of his own people. He hadn't cared to maintain a proper system as it doesn't mean anything. His will to do whatever he wanted,

the play shows Caligula the Roman Emperor, torn by the death of Drusilla, his sister and lover.Caligula responds to her death by beginning a reign of terror against the Roman citizens, but this will not be the only reason .. and wouldn't be a deep interpretation of Caligula's brutality , bloodthirstiness and sadism...it cant be only attributed to an accident .. it shows that his feelings of insecurity and tendency to violence were already present.... only his pain and misery for loosing her give

A question appeared to me: when there is no beleif in Judgment Day, what may make something as good and something as evil... If someone asks why not to do evil things such killing if I can without penalty... who can prevent me? who can judge me?This book made me realize that there is no limit to human whims and evilness... and made me appreciate profundly the Judgment Day...

Very interesting...I found the themes of authority and blind faith to be quite engaging, perhaps a glimpse into the lives of the average citizen of just about any country. The discussions based on freedom and justice were quite interesting, too. In true Camus fashion, the absurd is omnipresent in just about everything Caligula says in this play, so it was kind of fun to pick out the absurdities and see how they related to what was going on in the story. I'm not going to lie - I thought this play
