Justice is a struggle in terms of equality; either a person is given justice in the hopes of finding a truer life, or their justice is taken away in the hopes of eradicating their impact or influence. Often cultures respect beliefs that uphold justice in many forms, but the method by which justice is achieved and preserved is the distinguishing factor. Albert Camus, an existentialist author born in Algeria, chose to argue that the values ​​of “liberty, justice, fraternity and happiness… as well as the terms of revolt and absurdity, described the human non-acceptance of a world without meaning or value” (Camus 1868). Through the stories of Daru, Camus's protagonist in The Guest, the ability to create a strongly moral environment while pushing the boundaries of moral integration describes Camus's existentialist views. Daru's indecision, regarding the injustice and/or freedom of the Arab prisoner, extends from his own moral code which diminishes the existentialist approach to logic. Daru's moral code, when it concerns his morality or how he is characterized, exemplifies sacrifice. Daru lives independently even though he is a member of a poverty-stricken community. The students who attend his class can no longer attend because of the freezing weather, but Camus instead describes Daru by calling the class "icy" because without children it is cold and terrible, "after eight months of drought without transition from rain, and the twenty or so students who lived in the villages scattered across the plateau no longer came” (Camus 1872). Logically, his existence represents madness, but morally, his struggles represent that of a man with a clear conscience. Existentially, Camus inserts Daru's sacrifice in the middle of the paper......his prisoner signified the characterization of Daru as a man who did not want to be involved in the troubles of the world but rather a man who wanted a faraway place. and a free lifestyle.
