The Stranger
The Stranger, written by Albert Camus, explains how the human life is something that is meaningless. One man, Meursault, has very negative views on life itself and believes that everyone’s life is equal in meaning. He believes everyone is born to just die soon, and after their death they are not good for anything.
Meursault is very different from other people and does not like to show any emotion. He would rather bottle everything up and try to convince himself that nothing is wrong, or that nothing is a big deal. In the first chapter of this novel, Meursault’s mother dies. He does not show any emotion from her death, and tries to avoid the subject. When friends or neighbors try to confront him about the subject, he quickly changes topics.
At the funeral, workers asked Meursault if he would like to see his mother one last time and he shakes them off. He is surrounded by his mother’s friends, watching them all mourn over the death......
