Stranger #2

Strangers. is a strange book

In Strangers I feel as though meursault as a Character he has the ability to make him want people around him even though he is a detached person and doesn't shows emotion to the people around him. but the fact he still hangs out with them and goes to the restaurant that he like eating at it shows some care of him letting himself sourand by people. When he was in jail he started going crazy because he wasn't part of the world no more he was compacted in walls and he didn't really care if his girlfriend came and saw him becuase he wasnt paying mind to that he was looking around the room he likes to know things then rather feel a real affect from it. I cant really say meursault is a "bad" person because that's just the way he is as a person, he did kill someone but maybe killing someone is what he had to do to realize there's so much that he has that he can appreciate and take things a little bit more serious.

People try to seem so careless but I think deep down theres more to everything and eventhough you show careless feelings its actually affecting them more as a person. And once they see people can show careless feelings to them , thats a hint people strive to see and feel things around them. And thats how merusalt felt when he was in jail because in jail people wasnt being nice to him he didnt have the same privileges as he did when he wasnt in jail " Once i was in my cell, i asked to have them back. But I was told I wasnt allowed. The first few days were really rough.That may be the thing that was hardest for me." I wonder if thats him showing true emotion and its really affecting that he is in jail? or him saying it as it really didnt matter? & he will get over it. will meursault ever change? will jail give a different view in life? I think the only person that can answer that is him. Will he be able to continue to surive him being detached? When a person feels trape within themselves thats when they want to change but takes many different ways for a person to change.

I wonder how old is he?. What time period was it that he felt some type of way showing emotion? was it a girl from the past? mother? father? a random person?. This book doesnt answer questions that you will like to know. Which at times is a good and a bad thing because its like come on! tell me more! but left with un answered questions is an expansion of your mind being curious. Was this a way him proving him self to a siutaion that happen to him? Can a person really be like this? This book says it all!!!.
