More about the book
Albert Camus's play "Caligula" is a poignant study of the solitude of power and human helplessness. Its main character, the Roman Emperor Caligula, commits evil and wreaks havoc around him. While his provocative demonstration of strength towards his subjects achieves its intended effects, his blasphemies against the gods go unanswered; thus, he fails to prove their existence. Ultimately, as Caligula contemplates how much people can endure before rebelling and killing the tyrant, he finds the answer—his own death.
