List and explain ways in which Daru's internal conflict illustrates the main tenets of "The Social Contract."

Daru's social contract involves teaching and helping the impoverished of French occupied Algeria. Daru's connection with Algeria, however, implies something more than a contract. The most important thing to Daru is that he finds a sense of place in Algeria, that the people accept him in some way: everywhere else, including France, Daru feels away from home or exiled. For all Daru's fidelity towards Algeria, he will never be accepted into Arab culture. There is no social contract that can enable Daru to be part of Arab culture because of the simple fact that he is white and he is French.
