The play by Albert Camus “misunderstanding” considered by researchers as a variant of the modern tragedy of rock, was first published and staged in 1944. The main ideological core of the "misunderstanding" is, as one of the researchers correctly notes - B. In. Shervashidze — ..alienation, restlessness of a person in the world of people, inability to break through not only the deaf armor of mutual misunderstanding, but also the hostile silence of the world. Camus makes an attempt to revise his previous positions, “to establish boundaries between what is allowed and what is not allowed.”
