what the FUCK was Meursault's problem?

It's literally spelled out for you. He was born with no concept of meaning. His trajectory during the book is to learn that the world is the same as him(meaningless), but that he should pretend anyway that meaning exists.

That is literally the entire purpose of Camus' philosophy, to 'rebel' against the meaninglessness of the world. In the Stranger it takes the form of him wishing that people hatefully jeer at his execution because he deserves to die for having killed the Arab for no reason, even if they are jeering for the wrong reason.

He's extremely logical, not caring for certain conventions most of us would. Also, the book is not edgy at all (the whole "life is meaningless" stuff can get misjudged), it insists upon enjoying little pleasures, such as the beach, a cup of coffee, a promenade

>> No.16576635

what is this meaning that is lacking then? christianity? I read this book years ago and I don't believe I got it. I thought he was an exemplar of absurdism. It is absurd to shoot someone for nothing. But that this also affected him with a kind of alienation and sorrow.

I also read the myth of sisyphus and I do not get why any of what camus was trying to do "philosophically" should have any value what so ever

Mersault acts like a buffoon throughout the story and in the end he suddenly turns into a philosopher. Camus is a hack that tries way too hard to get the message across.

What do you guys think about mersaults' or however the fuck you spell his name, conscience in this book? Because he seems super sketched out by the gangster neighbor at first.. then he just decides to be friends with him, because fuck it. Is this book just showing you that if you go along with life as it comes, itll lead you to prison, then death? That's a dark outlook on human nature.

when his mother died he realized whatever he might have thought would change didn't. there weren't any special feelings, no deep sadness, life wasn't anything like it was described in the books he read, it was painfully bland, he just took everything as it came and of course there is something very realistic about those mundane feelings during what one would picture as life changing moments. This lead to him taking life lightly and not thinking that there would be any consequences to anything since nothing ever really changed in him. This way of thinking coupled with the familiar feeling of a summer day so hot that everything seems unreal ultimately let to him killing someone, not even because he was very invested in the conflict but just because and in prison he finally comes to understand that it was his own way of thinking that was wrong when he sees everyone reflect on his actions and describing them as weird or being put off by them. His feelings were very relatable for me at the time I read it and I could probably still get a lot out of it now, so his character really isn't that outlandish.
