Meursault's Life

Meursault’s life is basically the same until he makes a bad decision that impacts him forever. The story begins with Meursault attending his mother’s funeral. Following his mother's death, Meursault acts normal, and he goes to the beach with Raymond and Marie, at the beach him and Raymond gets into an altercation with a Arab. After Raymond leaves, Meursault goes back to where the Arab was at and shoots the Arab. In Camus’ book, The Stranger, Camus shows that humans will eventually meet death, and that humans lives doesn’t have any meaning. Meursault comes to this realization throughout the novel but he doesn’t fully understand it until speaking with the chaplain at the end of the book.
