The narrative is framed as the personal chronicle of a citizen who experiences the epidemic firsthand, depicting the ferocity of the disease, the reactions of the populace, and the overarching atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the reader to the initial rumblings of the plague's return, beginning with rumors emanating from Holland in September 1664. Following the reporting of plague deaths in London, the sense of dread begins to grip the community as various parishes start to report an increase in burials. The narrative intricately chronicles the confusion and fears surrounding the plague, detailing both the government's attempts to manage the situation and the chaotic responses from the general populace, including self-preservation tactics, superstitions, and frantic attempts to escape the city, setting the stage for a detailed unfolding of the calamity that follows.
