After wrapping up the first chapter of Albert Camus’ The Stranger, I find myself questioning the heart of man. The opening lines stated “Mother died today.

Potential conflicts in this

The Stranger There are many things that make a novel a classic. The ones I believe make “The Stranger” a classic are: the book’s character conflict and how the conflict is resolved, the setting’s ability to relate to issues in todays society, and also how the book appeals to readers of all times in terms of the theme in humanity. One of the reasons “The Stranger” becomes a classic is due to the way the Meursault deal with his internal and external conflicts. In my book, Meursault and his friend
