The guest ideas

My favorite character in the Albert Camus "Exile and the Kingdom" was the school teacher, Daru. He expressed the humility towards the prisoner who was a complete stranger to him. He had no obligation for treating him nicely or showing him any respect. He knew that the stranger in his house was a murder, but he still had a trust in his good nature. Daru fell asleep next to the man who could easily kill him or try to escape from the captivity. His trust towards complete stranger or even an enemy is quite unusual. I can't see myself being so trustworthy towards someone I am seeing for the first time. It takes me some time before I can be open with someone I happen to meet at particular point in my life. I admire Daru's ability to look at the prisoner with a sense of love and respect that we usually express only within our inner circle. He treated him as if it was his close friend or family member. He put his life on the line by giving the prisoner money and providing him information needed for the getaway. Despite being provided with everything necessary for an escape the prisoner made a decision of surrendering himself. He couldn't bring the suffering to the man who trusted and helped him without even knowing his name. Daru's trust and loving attitude towards complete stranger gets rewarded through the honorable action of the prisoner.
