The Stranger

The book Stranger is a good book. In my other blog I already explain how I feel about how I felt when I read this book. Also how the main characters/ Meursault acts as a person. Throughout the book there are so many interesting things that I found in the Stranger.
I have noticed a couple of things about Meursault. Even though he has barely shown any emotions towards anything he has felt some emotion but kept it to himself. Like the way he explains about Marie he do not show to her. He made it seem that love is a whatever thing with them two. But when he met Raymond’s friend Masson and Marie met Masson’s wife he saw that they were laughing and having fun and he said on page50, “For the first time maybe, I really thought I was going to get married”. He tries to hold his emotions within for some reason but he cares about Marie.
One thing that really shocked me was how he shot the Arab. Even though he do not have a care about life or at least acts like it I never really thought about him shooting the Arab. And when he talks about the situations he acts as if he shows no interest in what he did. He does not even believe in God. He’s not into religion or life or anything. Everyone feels some emotion but he just hides it.
I really like the book and Meursault himself even though I feel a certain way when I read about him. I’ve learned alittle while reading and experience some emotion change but overall I like the book. It was very interesting.
