Albert Camus - The Stranger

Novelist, politician, philosopher I read it through the publisher 'Minumsa'. As he is an author I personally really like, it was incredibly fun to read. Actually, I read it in 8th grade, and then again in 11th grade. The overall length was short. It's a novel centered around the protagonist Meursault. I felt very frustrated while reading it, but for some reason, I didn't dislike it. The cold gaze looking at Meursault. The cold demeanor with which he accepts it. Do you absolutely have to cry desperately when your mother passes away? Do you have to show your sadness and appeal? Everyone accepts things differently. Returning to daily life the next day and spending time with his girlfriend. Does his outward appearance mean he's not struggling? Is it okay to arbitrarily define the life of someone who seems completely unfazed? Meursault is not a sociopath. I think he is a man more human than anyone else. I feel like I'm looking at Camus and Meursault together. Perhaps I too am nurturing Meursault within me.
