The Guest:
1. Why does Daru give the Arab the opportunity to escape? Why does he choose not to escape? Why does he choose not to take the road to the Arab lands at the end of the story?
2. Why does Albert Camus set the story on a remote outpost in Algeria, just after a freak snowstorm has isolated it even more profoundly than usual? How does he use descriptions of the landscape to reinforce Daru’s isolation? Do the descriptions of the landscape suggest its beauty? Why or why not?
