Chronicle Toward 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.Point Books As Caligula

all men are caligula's subjects. ergo, all men are guilty and shall die. it is only a matter of time and patience.THIS WAS BRILLIANT how on earth did camus make me sympathize with caligula of all people?! absolutely remarkable!! it takes true ability + empathy to make someone feel for possibly the cruelest and vilest of all the roman emperors.
What heart, what god would be as deep and pure for me as a great lake?
Caligula : Emperor of Rome, Albert CamusCaligula is a play written by Albert Camus, begun in 1938, and published for the first time in May 1944. The play was later the subject of numerous revisions. It was part of what the author called the "Cycle of the Absurd", with the novel The Stranger (1942) and the essay The Myth of Sisyphus (1942). تاریخ نخستین خوانش: یکی از روزهای ماه ژانویه سال 1975 میلادیعنوان: کالیگولا : نمایشنامه در چهار پرده نویسنده: آلبر کامو مترجم: جمشید خسرو تهران کانون شهریار
Tyranny is a disaster ....Caligula is a symbol of absurdity of human wishes for power and freedomCamus reveals the unreasonable and cruel thoughts and wishes of a man intrigued by his power, and as a result of his mental imbalance, life turns into miseryThis play is valid forever
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
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
