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. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can’t be sure” (Camus 4). Reading about a man who is not affected by the death of his own mother is quite sickening. The opening scenes of the novel seem quite morbid and I am nervous to continue reading. Meursault seems like a guy that has mental problems and could possibly be very dangerous. 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.

This group of writers, who are usually called post-world war writers, attempted to falsify the general

Existentialism I was exposed to Existentialism in previous courses, but when I was introduced to the concepts I do not think I truly understood them. The concepts were always presented in such an ornate fashion that the whole theory baffled me.

In addition, I presumed that existential therapy lived in the state of “why,” and the
