1.Susan Sontag argues that societies attach symbolic meanings to illnesses, transforming them into metaphors for moral, cultural, or political issues. For example, diseases like tuberculosis (TB) and cancer have historically been framed as reflections of personal failing or societal decay. TB was romanticized in the 19th century as a disease of sensitive, artistic souls, while cancer was stigmatized as a manifestation of repressed emotions. Similarly, AIDS in the 1980s was wrongly moralized as a “punishment” for marginalized groups. Sontag critiques this metaphorical thinking because it shifts focus from the biological reality of disease to harmful stereotypes, blaming patients instead of addressing systemic causes. Her work reminds us that illness should be understood as illness—not as a narrative loaded with judgment or myth.

2.Plague stories often follow these recurring patterns:Catastrophic Onset,Social Collapse,Humanity Tested,Scapegoating,Ambiguous Resolution. To tell a story of disease, I will focus on personal struggles—a parent protecting a child, a scientist racing for a cure. Then just use the plague as a lens to critique issues like healthcare inequity or misinformation.
