Journal # 6 - The Stranger

Journal # 6 - The Stranger

Camus uses Mersault's tendencies to listen to others unemotionally and give them control over his actions to show how dependence on the needs of others introduces conflict into a persons life.

  1. It is still on a fairly basic level. What is the importance of conflict. Think about the "so what." You have to prove a lot of little of things in the thesis: unemotionality, giving control to others, dependence, conflict. Narrow it down and go deeper.

  2. Camus uses Mersault's unemotional attitude towards relationships to demonstrate the unimportance of human life and the absurdity of the world.
