Globalization has become an end with the 2020 pandemic
crisis. While closing the doors to each other, countries try to learn how to
afford everything, how to feed themselves. It is proven that although people
seem free, they are not. An invisible tiny virus has captured people and put
them inside. The living conditions have changed. In this study, it is aimed to
determine how the novel “The Plague” by Camus has become real in the 2020
pandemic. Life has changed in an economic dimension, social dimension, and
relational dimension. People are inside as prisoners. While considering
themselves as free, having realized the reverse of the nature has caused them
to get anxious. To recover from the unexpected crisis takes much time. However,
it is the one that changes everything. This period is the milestone. The vital
one is to take the message. The lesson learned will help people to go on in the
future. Being together is important in social events. Taking individual
precautions, obeying rules seem to mirror as a reflection. It is proven that
the 2020 pandemic enslaving people gives a message how helpless a human is.
Love and pain are the two aspects that people have during the 2020 pandemic as
in the Novel “The Plague” by Camus. Nature reminds humanity to believe itself.
Death is always a catastrophe. It is a real end of the living. Like everybody
in the war against the plague, anyone who struggles with Covid-19, who
challenges death, knows well that the attempts increase their chance to
survive. The people who get away from struggling are aware of approaching the
possibility to be attacked by the virus.
