Lived His Life Rest Of Society
1,805 words
... l service, and not even knowing his own
mother's age proves to be outrageous when compared
to the average human being's social and moral
standards. But the fact is Meursault is not the
average human being. Helene Poplyansky beautifully
explained this when she said: Meursault is far
from social convention or intellectual problems;
what counts for him are his own sensations and
desires. He is an outsider not only for others but
also for himself. He looks at himself without
trying to analyze hi...

The Stranger In The Stranger, Albert Camus
portrays Meursault, the book's narrator and main
character, as aloof, detached, and unemotional. He

during emotional times. He displays an
impassiveness throughout the book in his reactions

Good Or Bad Meaning And Purpose
1,289 words
In the book "The Stranger, " the main character,
Meursault, is a stranger to himself, and to life.
Meursault is a person who is emotionally and
physically detached from the world. He seemingly
cares only about himself, but at the same time
could be concerned little about what happens to
him. The title, "the Stranger, " could indicate
Meursault's disconnection and indifference to the
world that surrounds him and, therefore, his role
as a stranger in the book. The title could also
imply that he is...

Alienation In Modern Society
1,280 words
I will compare and contrast Mike Newell's Dance
with a Stranger and Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave in
terms of alienation. The reasoning behind my
choice is that these two films have explicit
characteristics in the frame of alienation. Both
highlight modern alienation in terms of alienated
sexuality, isolation, normlessness whereas Newell
discusses alienation also in class and gender
difference perspective; Boyle discusses alienation
in the working place as an alienated labour. To
begin with, when ...

Intercultural Matriarchal Figures in Gershon s
Ruth and Esther Gershon uses biblical midrash to
reexamine the place of the matriarchal figure
after the Shoah. Both poems center on one central
female from the bible, although one is identified
as a Jew, while one is identified as furthering
the lineage of Christ. Both poems give these women
the power of choice, which they do not have in the
typical biblical text. Both poems show the power
of man as motivation over the power of God.

Sartre, and Death on the Installment Plan, by
Louis-Ferdinand Celine, all contrast themselves
with internal texts that fail to represent the

prosecutors narrative of the murders as an
incompetent text by refusing to support the
motives he assigns. It contrasts itself with the
