The Stranger In The Stranger, Albert Camus
portrays Meursault, the book's narrator and main
character, as aloof, detached, and unemotional. He
is the idealistic existentialist. He does not
think much about events or their consequences, nor
does he express much feeling in relationships or
during emotional times. He displays an
impassiveness throughout the book in his reactions
to the people and events described in the book.
After his mother's death he sheds no tears; seems
to show no emotions. He...

infinite starlit heaven above our heads, and the
infinite spiritual space within us. All people are
talented, all people have a gift from the Lord,
but not everybody discovers this talent, not
everybody develops it. Paradoxically, but
generally just the brightest people at the

necessary to eliminate the widespread abuse and
fraud. Today, the U. S. spends well ov...

An Exploration of? The Stranger? by Albert Camus
The Stranger is a book of many facets and meanings
most of which are not immediately apparent. In
fact without in depth analysis the entire point of
the book is easily missed. The manner of story
telling in The Stranger is unique and at first
hard to come to grips with. It is not the story
which is especially complex but the manner in
which it is told. It is done by a narrator. In his
telling of his tale he neglects to mention several
important as...

Mother Death Lived His Life

The Stranger Meursault appears to be a typical,
middle-class young man. He works as a clerk, rents
an apartment, and enjoys women, the sea, the sun,
and smoking. He appears normal? almost boring. His
neighbors seem to trust him and approach him for
help and advice. However, he lacks any emotion or
passion towards anything in his life. Meursault
lives life through the sensations of the here and
now, describing these in much detail: the sun,
sea, and sky; the feel of a crisp towel; the taste
of go...

La Sylphide La Sylphide brought more than just
another ballet into the world. It marks the
beginning of a remarkable period of time the
Romantics. Up until this time in history, ballets
were relatively predictable and in no ways a
challenge to the status quo. Often times they
consisted of the pavane, social dances, and the
like (Anderson 38). Of course, ballet had evolved,
but it had by no means, been a challenge to
society. La Sylphide began to alter this concept.
The setting is France in 1832....

Mothers Death Turning Point

The murder of the Arab is clearly the central
event of the novel. Camus placed it in fact right
in the middle of the book. It is the last incident
recounted in part 1, so its importance is
underscored by a structural break in the story. It
is related in one of the longer chapters, which
records in fine detail the events of the day, even
when their relevance is not obvious for example,
several paragraphs are devoted to describing how
Marie and Meursault frolic in the sea. The murder
marks an obvi...

Derek Goff English 24104 Mr. Venue 14 April 2000
Meursault as The Stranger The way a person reacts
to ordinary situations determines the opinions of
others based on their behavior. Yet, when this
behavior is abnormal or different from the rest of
society, it causes society to form an opinion
based totally on a persons behavior not their true
personality. In Meursault's case, his strange
opinions and unexpected remarks put him in this
position, without ever really giving him an
opportunity to be ...
