Document Summary
Camus" the stranger: gives good sense of the place, knows the location of the story, weird, character is weird, arthur meursault. Characters: arthur meursault, marie cardona, old man and his dog, raymond, arab girl and her brothers, msr. She wasn"t part of his life for a long time. Even though they lived under the same roof, they didn"t have a relationship. You don"t mourn someone if you have no relationship with them: doesn"t feel bad, he continues with his life, met with marie, swam at the pool. Arthur: he is weird, because she abandoned him emotionally, she"s physically there for him, but not emotionally, he feels like he"s going to die. When you are young you depend on your parents, but if they reject you, you feel like you"re going to die. He can never fill the emptiness within himself. She stole the opportunity of ever allowing his emotions to be expressed.
