Caligula's Heart

In the play Caligula, the playwright Albert Camus demonstrates Caligula's heart, by his discriptions of Caligula's feelings. He demonstrates that Caligula, in the eyes of the patricians, seemed distraught, and when left he had "a queer look in his eyes.". The patricians view Caligula, as "a mere boy", and while he is missing, they do not seem too upset with the fact that he is gone. They just assume that "he'll return as abruptly as he left". They believe that when he comes back, they can make him see reason. Personally, I believe that while he hold the high position of Emperor, he still has the impulses that cause him to make childish decisions.
