Mersault

Mersault is a isolated character that has no feeling nor emotion up until part two of The Stranger. He is an existensialis, he lives in the moment and doesn' care about the passed nor future. There was only a few points in the book that demonstrated when he cared about the future, and that was when he was offered food and he thought about it because he wouldn't have to cook later on when he gets hungry, which in turn is an act of animailism. When man is hungry, man shall eat. In Albert Camus' The Starnger, people think his actions occur due to his mothers death. For example, when he killed the Arab, people thought he killed the Arab because his mother died. In reality, he killed the Arab because the sun was beaming in his face.
