    Strangers‚ Again Writing a relationship story from a video clip is so difficult and so inherently uninteresting‚ that there really needs to be some compelling reason to include one in the story. And that reason has to do with how characters are getting along or not. To put characters in this overused and fairly boring situation‚ something more has to be happening than simply hugs‚ kisses and cuddles. What else is love about in this video clip except getting along or not getting along? To put

    Camus view of the world was seen to have centred on life‚ the meaning and values of existence‚ and how absurd it all was. The view of the absurd was a man ’s futile search for meaning‚ unity and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of God‚ eternal truths and values. Which then implies that there is an absence of any reasons to live there being no predefined purpose to the world or universe. To which the answer seems to be suicide‚ to remove yourself from a world that is decidedly

    12/31/2012 The Stranger: The Essay In the philosophical novel “The Stranger”‚ written by Albert Camus‚ the story ended with Meursault’s last thoughts. He thinks‚ “For everything to be consummated‚ for me to feel less alone‚ I had only wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate” (Camus 123). The question is: Why does Meursault hope for this? Why does Camus end the novel at this point? And who is the “Stranger” and why? “The

The essay’s relevance to the novel is well established by Camus’ explanation of the concept of “the absurd” and how this philosophy governs the actions of all human action. Camus describes Sisyphus as the “absurd hero” in the essay‚ however this title seems transcendent to Meursault

    response to that question. That is because we know that every question has to have an answer‚ whether it is right or wrong. When Albert Camus named his novel The Stranger he was asking his audience a question that will forever go unanswered. Camus was asking his readers who they thought the title “stranger” was. Therefore‚ when a reader may wonder as to who the said stranger may be‚ they somehow come up with a response. But a response is not an answer. Responses and answers are entirely contrasting things
