The distinction between nouns is not whether they are abstract or common, but whether they are abstract or concrete.
The word plague may be either abstract or concrete, common or proper.
- As a disease, it is a concrete noun for the physical condition caused by an infection.
- It is used metaphorically as an abstract noun: a plague of immigrants, a plague of economic woes.
- Either of the above are common nouns. The proper noun, a capitalized form, is the Plague to refer to an historic illness, an epidemic of Bubonic Plague also known as the Black Death.
