Is there any character you like or can sympathize with so far?

:-D I know what you mean. Camus' philosophy didn't lead me to expect to meet anyone I could sympathize with, but I was hoping they'd have a little more life. Yet I guess when you remove God from the equation, you remove the soul ........ honestly these people seem somewhat like robots and even the town before the plague was described as a depressing place where everyone just moved from day to day, with no meaning other than the immediate. Sad .......
