There are layers to this story. Daru would have liked to consider the Arab his guest but really he was a prisoner. Daru himself longs to be considered a native Algerian but instead will forever be considered an unwanted guest by the greater Algerian population. Then we can examine what a guest means in the context of imperialism (French on Algerian soil).
