The slippery slope argument is a misconception that reasons that an event will occur after a specific event has occurred; in other words, it is the idea that when an event occurs, another event will follow, thus it is necessary that the first event must be stopped.

Grand symbolizes the general population during times of crisis; he may not necessarily be heavily involved with or directly affected by the plague, but that is why “[his] small daily effort” (137) to combat the plague is most commendable in comparison to Tarrou and Rieux. It is not enough for one or a few people to be dedicated to a cause; rather it is important for everyone else, the “ordinary people” to be involved - to stand in solidarity with those suppressed, attacked, or affected by a force - because as the clique saying goes: “strength comes in numbers.” An individual’s, or in this case a portion of the population’s, issue
