# If you act unscrupulously, you will become a murderer, but what I try to be is a justice!
# Works by the winner of the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature.
# "They believe that every life has equal value and that no ideal is above human life, even though they kill people for their ideals. They practice this ideal personally and even die to realize it."—— Camus
Kaliayev and his brethren around the world refuse to deify themselves;
Because they refuse the undue power to take away the lives of others.
Learn survival and death. If you want to become a human being, you must refuse to become a god.
— Camus —
"The Just" is a play in five acts. Camus adapted the story of the assassination of Grand Duke Sergei by Russian revolutionaries in 1905. Kaliayev, a college student, opposed the Russian imperial rule and wanted to seek revolution. He and his companions planned to assassinate Grand Duke Serzh with a bomb in an attempt to shake the autocratic system. The first operation was urgently canceled because there were innocent children on the Serzh bus. Kaliayev believed that even if the revolution was important, innocent people should not be sacrificed, and he and his partners had a heated argument about this. Debate and discuss whether the concept of justice should justify the means. Later, Kaliayev and his companions found another opportunity and killed the Grand Duke, but were imprisoned for this. The Grand Duchess went to the prison to talk to Kaliayev and asked him to reveal his accomplices in exchange for a pardon. Kaliayev refused and later died calmly. Although he killed people with a greater ideal, he did not use this idea as an excuse, but paid the price with his own life to achieve justice, defeating all kinds of nihilism in history that wanted to stand on the altar.
Camus attached great importance to the extended meaning of this story and discussed it in "The Resistance". Camus wrote:
"To be so completely oblivious to themselves, yet so concerned about the lives of others, it is conceivable that these murderers who did not do anything experienced the most extreme contradiction in resistance. We can believe that while they believed that violence was inevitable, they also believed that violence was inevitable. Violence is unjustified, killing is necessary but inexcusable."
"They felt that the action was inevitable, but they could not convince themselves, so they came up with a way to rationalize everything by dedicating themselves, sacrificing their own lives to answer the questions posed to them. For them──as for all before them Like the rebels, killing means suicide, exchanging one life for another. In this double sacrifice, a value may be born. Kaliayev, Vanarovsky and other companions believe that every All lives have equal value, and no ideal is above human life, even though they kill people for the ideal. They practice this ideal physically, and even die to realize it."
"The Just" is a character incarnated with historical facts. Through emotions and dialogues, he expresses the spirit of resistance that Camus believes, and marks the resistance consciousness of honesty and responsibility. It is not that resistance with ideas can sacrifice others, the only one who can be sacrificed is oneself. , this play is also Camus's tribute to true resistance to justice.
