Summary
Rieux sat with his close friend Tarrou. He listened as Tarrou recounted his life and his childhood, the lessons he had learned. The man is a great storyteller, and he leads Rieux to truly think about his words. The doctor finds himself surprisingly emotional hearing his stories. He wishes he could have met Tarrou in his youth. They could have sat and talked as they are now. He wonders what that would have done. What that could have changed for Tarrou, and for him as well. He looks at Tarrou, then back at the town, then back at Tarrou again as he speaks. Tarrou is explaining his unique view of the world and men. And while the doctor respects Tarrou and his more radical thoughts, he wants to pull the other man back from his aspiring sainthood and keep him in this moment, with him.
