12 Ibid., p. 198. This interpretation of Camus's novel is, however, contentious. Tarrou is not the main character of the novel, and is not convincing as the author's voice. That part belongs to Dr. Rieux, who seems to have a very different view of the plague in Oran. His view is that of a man who does not want simply to live with the infection, but fight it: “if you refuse to be beaten [by the plague], you have some pleasant surprises,” he says (Camus, Albert, The Plague, translated by Gilbert, Stuart [New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1974], p. 144).Google Scholar

18 Dostoevsky's underground man saw this: “I'll wager that you think I'm writing all this merely out of bravado, and bravado in bad taste at that, clattering my sword like that officer, just to exercise my wit at the expense of men of action. But, my dear sirs, who would take pride in his own diseases, and brag about them too?
“Ah, what am I saying? Everybody does it. It's precisely their diseases that people pride themselves on, and I do too—more perhaps than anybody else” (Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, pp. 5–6).
