Jan 22 Reflection on Camus’s “The Stranger”

On the third day that we all met as a class, we discussed the novel The Stranger by Albert Camus. As this novel details the events of a man who seemingly breaks most social norms pertaining to emotions and morality, it also gives a glimpse into how others react when a person goes against the grain of society. I believe that the main theme of this novel is absurdity because the main character, Meursault, seems to follow no rational path in life and makes decisions based on minimal reasoning or motivation. For instance, when Marie asks him if he would like to marry her, he states that he would but he does not love her and does not have much of a reason to marry her. This gives an example of how Meursault’s personality rejects the traditional, mainstream beliefs about love and marriage. In fact, as one student pointed out, Meursault rarely describes reasons why he cares for Marie that do not have to do with physical appearance. During our in-class discussion, many students agreed that Meursault was a sociopath because he seems to lack empathy for most of the people and creatures around him. I would agree with this claim considering that he seems to give little regard to his mother’s passing, Raymond and Salomano’s abusive actions, his crime of murder, or marriage. Although one student stated that the term “sociopath” is just a reflection of society’s views on right and wrong, so perhaps him being a sociopath is not even relevant in the first place.

             However, these sociopathic tendencies do prove to be quite relevant to the prosecution during his trial following the murder of the Arab. This brings us to another aspect of absurdity that this novel exemplifies and that is how most “ordinary” people react to the idea of choices being meaningless and irrational. In the second part of the novel, the prosecution spends an extensive amount of time trying to prove that Meursault had planned out this murder ahead of time, rather than it being a spontaneous event. Rather than accepting the fact that Meursault killed the Arab for absolutely no reason, the prosecution draws conclusions from all different points of his life in order to prove that Meursault is a criminal at heart who has malicious intentions when he committed murder. I personally think that this shows that although life could possibly be meaningless and there could be no order to anything, there are still consequences for behaving outside of the societal norm which shows that it is generally advantageous to follow some order in life. Complete and total disorder in all aspects of life, whether it is in your personal life or in the grandiosity of society, almost always seems to lead to negative consequences. This can be seen in the first skit where Meursault applies for a job and makes a bad impression on the interviewer by answering the questions poorly. Presumably, Meursault does not get the job, which shows that one may reject all ideas of rationality and order in the universe, but that won’t stop the universe from breaking you down. This, in my opinion, points to a deeper, intrinsic meaning to all things in the universe.
