My understanding and appreciation of cultural and contextual considerations shown throughout stylistic choices developed throughout this discussion. When I was reading The Stranger‚ there was a notion of hotness and higher temperatures that Meursault experienced throughout the book.

Right then it clicked for me that the idea of hotness was really a part of the much larger motif‚ the sun and its multiple

step closer to the room‚ I tried to recall my knowledge of philosophers and their arguments‚ as they encompassed a big portion of this assessment.

However‚ my thoughts of recollection transformed into thoughts of despair. “I’m doomed! This

“Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe‚ I don’t know.” (Camus‚ 3). These opening lines of The Stranger by Albert Camus gives a feeling for how the rest of the novel will continue to go. The reader’s initial reaction may be shocked. How does someone not know when their mother died and why do they not care? Albert Camus was an existentialist and wrote in such a way. Existentialism is a philosophy that focuses on the ideas of existence and not believing in a God‚ the freedom of choice and responsibility

with Strangers Every community has unwritten rules that only fellow citizens understand. These rules have inspired the American novelist and essayist Siri Hustvedt to write the essay “Living with Strangers” in The New York Times in 2002. The essay is about the cultural differences she had to deal with when she moved from Minnesota - where people are accused of being a snob if they don’t greet everyone they meet - to New York - where people live rather isolated lives and greeting strangers on the

Response to: The Stranger The essay: “The Myth of Sisyphus” and the novel: The Stranger‚ both by Albert Camus‚ are conjoined with the similar theme of exploring existentialism‚ or finding the meaning/purpose of one’s life. The essay’s relevance to the novel is well established by Camus’ explanation of the concept of “the absurd” and how this philosophy governs the actions of all human action. Camus describes Sisyphus as the “absurd hero” in the essay‚ however this title seems transcendent to Meursault

12/31/2012 The Stranger: The Essay In the philosophical novel “The Stranger”‚ written by Albert Camus‚ the story ended with Meursault’s last thoughts. He thinks‚ “For everything to be consummated‚ for me to feel less alone‚ I had only wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate” (Camus 123). The question is: Why does Meursault hope for this? Why does Camus end the novel at this point? And who is the “Stranger” and why? “The
