Themes of The Stranger Several themes in The Stranger serve as the foundation to the novel. Detachment‚ the first theme‚ is evident through Meursault’s overall attitude‚ Salamano’s situation‚ and Meursault’s desire to bury his mother without seeing her body.

One of my favorite aspects regarding Tarantino style is how he chooses to exclude characters or their faces from shots. This can be seen in several times in Pulp Fiction as well as Kill Bill vol 1. In Pulp Fiction we don’t actually see Marcellus’s (Ving Rhames) face till late in the movie all we see is the back of his head with a single Band-Aid on it.
