Rieux in a sentence

Bernard Rieux: Dr. Bernard Rieux is described as a man about age 35, of moderate height, dark-skinned, with close-cropped black hair.

After the boy's death, Paneloux tells Rieux that although the death of an innocent child in a world ruled by a loving God cannot be rationally explained, it should nonetheless be accepted.

At the beginning of the novel, Rieux's wife, who has been ill for a year, leaves for a sanatorium.

Dr. Rieux consults his colleague, Dr. Castel, about the illness until they come to the conclusion that a plague is sweeping the town.

During the epidemic, Rieux heads an auxiliary hospital and works long hours treating the victims.

Grand catches the plague and instructs Rieux to burn all his papers.

Grand catches the plague himself and asks Rieux to burn his manuscript, but then makes an unexpected recovery.

Grand is a neighbor of Cottard, and it is he who calls Rieux for help, when Cottard tries to commit suicide.

He also keeps a diary, full of his observations of life in Oran, which Rieux incorporates into the narrative.

It is Rieux who treats the first victim of plague and first uses the word plague to describe the disease.

Later in the novel, Tarrou tells Rieux, with whom he has become friends, the story of his life.

Meanwhile, Dr. Rieux; a vacationer, Jean Tarrou; and a civil servant, Joseph Grand, exhaustively treat patients in their homes and in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Rieux's wife has been sent to a sanatorium in another city, to be treated for an unrelated chronic illness.

Michel: M. Michel is the concierge of the building in which Rieux lives.

Rambert informs Tarrou of his escape plan, but when Tarrou tells him that there are others in the city, including Dr. Rieux, who have loved ones outside the city whom they are not allowed to see, Rambert becomes sympathetic and changes his mind.

Rieux hears from the sanatorium that his wife's condition is worsening.

Rieux is later informed via telegram that his wife has also died.

Tarrou tells Rieux the story of his life and, to take their mind off the epidemic, the two men go swimming together in the sea.

The main character, Dr. Bernard Rieux, lives comfortably in an apartment building when strangely the building's concierge, M. Michel, a confidante, dies from a fever.

Towards the end of October, Castel's new antiplague serum is tried for the first time, but it cannot save the life of Othon's young son, who suffers greatly, as Paneloux, Rieux, and Tarrou tend to his bedside in horror.
