Who is this guy? - blogpost

In the book "The Stranger", Meursault has gone to the nursing home where his mother resided prior to her death. Once its over, he has some of that "delicious" coffee that he craved, and caught a small weekend fling with an ex coworker. "Who is this guy?" is the perfect title for this blog post because that is exactly what we want to figure out. His neighbor, with a devious past life and a ruined present, confides in him because he finds that "men" can talk to each other. Mersault is seen as a man to his neighbor because his mother just past, he works very hard, and holds a decent composure. The way i look at Mersault, is as an emotionless, inhumane person. He walks around with the belief that he holds a stature that is above others and he may live within society however hed like. For those who do choose to live with society, do it in a manner way, and have humane morals, ones that society will judge and help to create a person. Mersault killing a man on the beach just to do it, to satisfy his own curiousity, is inhumane and morally wrong. One who chooses to live in they're own imaginative world, where there are no rules or limitations for one, not limitations physically but rather spiritually, is one that is in deep trouble.
