Caligula

1. During the play, Camus shows Caligula's heart by showing how sad Caligula is about the death of his sister. His sister was also his lover, so that makes the situation even worst. When Caligula was talking to Helicon, he told him that he wanted the moon. With the moon, it meant that he wanted happiness or eternal life. He also says that it may sound crazy, but it isn't impossible. So Camus shows that his heart is big from the death of his sister.

2. While the Patricians were talking to each other about Caligula, they asked if him leaving had anything to do about his dead sister. While they were talking, the old Patrician said "For one girl dead, a dozen living ones". Also, the first Patrician said "I lost my wife last year. I shed many tears, and then I forgot". The Patricians don't think that Caligula should be so sad over a girl since there are more. I don’t think of it that way. As I do believe there are a lot of girls in the world, to have your sister and lover die is terrible. So, I don’t agree with how the Patricians view of Caligula.
