The present study aims to analyze the theme of the event and its relations with language, as well as with the conception of resistance in the novel The Plague, by Albert Camus. The paper’s structure is divided in introduction, three chapters and the final considerations. In the first one, we will discuss the following themes in the two topics that composse it: a) the limits between literature and philosophy in Camus, as well as the dialogue between two languages, a poetic and a reflexive one, broached in the particular literary space of the constitutive language of the fictional text itself; b) the investigation of the concept of event that conducts to the plot of The Plague. In the second chapter there are three topics that aim to analyze and correlation the following subjects: the linking of styles present in the composition of this work, followed by the analysis of the use of language as part of the whole of the literary composition and, finally, of the novelchronicle taken as a vehicle of expression for the social and metaphysical sense that Camus attributed to it. The third and final chapter of this work aim to scrutinize, through the range of Camusian language, the profile of three characters: Rieux, Paneloux and Tarrou, and how their relations with the respective themes of exile and separation, the crisis of religion and human love, constitute the idea of resistance in The Plague. For this, as a theoretical framework, some authors will have fundamental importance for the construction of the notions of resistance, language and event, such as: Benedito Nunes (2010), Jacques Derrida (2014), David Lodge (2013), Alfredo Bosi (2002) Gérard Genette (1972), Slavoj Zizek (2017), Gilles Deleuze (2017), François Zourabichvili (2016) and John Caputo (2010).
