This paper examines and analyzes The Guest by Albert Camus. This is a story of lamentation where Albert Camus uses symbols alternately with plain language. Everything and everyone in it are everything and everyone in his own world and in the objective universe as he views it. Though sadness, wrath, and rebellion against an oppressive reality, Camus, through his character Daru, triumphs over it by turning compassionate, warm and just towards a victim of the state of things in reality and, thus, larger than that reality. Camus is both the Arab rebel guest and Daru, the schoolmaster. The guest is his personal embodiment : impoverished, sensitive, lost and crushed in a world too big and distant for him. He is an uninvited guest for the night at the deserted school, just like Camus feels about being in this world.
