The Seeker of Truth (ambiguity at its best)
Albert Camus’s The Stranger, and Raymond Carver’s Short Cuts, through their individual stories, presents a logos based appeal; the two authors, Carver and Camus convey the message that life has no rational meaning, and that we live in a world filled with irrational behavior without explanation, and purpose. The characters throughout Carver’s Short Cuts struggle in an emotion-based atmosphere, with their lives in private desperation, and inapt social behavior, they become compelled and bound by the truth of who they really are; striving to change and find emotion in their existence, as shown in carver’s story, “Neighbors”. Meursault on the other hand resembles the opposite of these emotional boundaries of which compels the Neighbors to seek and search for this euphoric feeling of meaning; shown by his lack of care over materialistic and psychological attachments, Meursault functions without a care in the world; resulting in his inability to experience the happiness the neighbors do when they break into the stone’s house. The human condition presented in each of these stories ultimately bear a resemblance to a search for a emotional meaning; or much rather a search for emotional happiness.
In both carver and Camus’ writing, the logos based appeal depicts a search that reflects the meaning in their character’s lives; often associating with this notion of emotional-happiness, or much rather meaning through happiness. In Albert Camus’s “Neighbors”, The Millers, Because they are not satisfied with the way they live, become compel and swayed to search for happiness through the materialistic items that the stones(their neighbors) had. Carver, in a sense, is trying to convey the message that meaning comes from happiness; “the feeling of satisfaction that comes after finding meaning” (Krue). By searching through their neighbor’s apartment, a symbolic action is formed within the millers as the search for meaning in their own
