Outsider Essay An outsider is a person who has been exiled or excluded from society because they are different in appearance‚ beliefs‚ background‚ behaviour‚ or mental health. Outsiders may choose isolation but their victimisation is carried out by society. Romeril’s Les Harding is deliberately portrayed as one of society’s innocent victims in contrast with Shakespeare’s murderous Lady Macbeth And John Donne’s pathetic death.
