Camus demonstrates Caligula's heart by Caligula wanting something. Caligula went out and ran away from the kingdom for a while to go get the moon. The moon represents his wants and desires and how they are impossible. Caligula's natural wants and desires can not be fulfilled by his reality which makes him very confused. Caligula is tired from walking because he did not get what he wanted and he came back to the kingdom without fulfilling his wants and desires. The patricians think that Caligula is foolish and is just being a child. They think that all they have to do is give him some time and he will be back to normal in no time. They think that his wants and desires, or his heart, can be forgotten or distracted by other things over time. At one point one of the patricians gives an example about his wife dying and now he has completely forgotten about her and has moved on. I do not agree with their view because it is very cruel and heartless to move on from something like a death of a loved one. To distract his wants and desires go against his human nature. I don't think over time he will forget about his loved one and move on.
