Stranger Journal #2

Meursalt describes his activity with very little or no enthusiasm at all, also he describes very simple and plain facts which are unrelated to the activity. There is very little constraint in his thinking process and he feels apart from others as well as himself. When Meursalt's mother dies, he still shows no emotion in that particular scene. I think that Camus made Meursalt this way to separate him from the rest of us. The separation causes a little bit distance from him much like he shows the distance from the world and him. This places us in Meursalt's world without us even getting to know him that well.
