The Stranger
(Albert Camus)
________________________________________
Genre: Existential novel, Crime drama
Pages Read: 18/123
In the first chapter, Camus did not give any physical description of the main character, but from what I concluded from the text, Meursault is a man in his thirties, who is not very emotional. Another character, perhaps a resident of the home of the elderly, might describe him as a serious, handsome, young man. Based on what I know about Meursault, I think that he would place the letter from the nursing center. It is the only item of any emotional value that he possesses, for the letter informs him of his mother's death. Future generations would probably be shocked after reading the letter, for it is very brief and not very descriptive, for it does not even informs us of the cause of her death.
