A Hero Within Albert Camus’ The Stranger follows the life of Meursault‚ an Algerian man‚ who is also the protagonist and narrator of the novel. Divided into two parts‚ the narrative offers a comprehensive‚ albeit detached‚ account of Meursault’s life before and after he commits a senseless‚ apparently unprovoked slaying. As Meursault starts off as removed‚ emotionless man without a care for his friends and family aspects of Camus’s philosophy of the “absurd” can be uncovered. On the surface
