Commentary on Albert Camus' "Silent Men"

Some might consider silence to be a lack of communication. I believe, however, that silence is an extremely powerful form of communication. What can not be expressed in words with speech can always be shown through body language and looks. In “Silent Men”, Yvars and his coworkers have realized just that. They have realized that it does not matter how much they scream, fight or strike. No one will listen or even understand their words; …

…what they needed and what the meant; but with silence and the action of them using their tools, it is better and more efficient than words. The correlation between action and speech is that they make an extraordinary power force. The silent men use that power and although it might not have had instant results, it is clear that their message was finally heard by the one who has the power over them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
