Devrim ArasMr. BraccinoEnglish IIPD 1Within the Stranger, Albert Camus raised many questions and, for the most part, did not answer them. He designed a different character for society and showed us how he lived. His name, Meursault. His ideas on absurdism are shown many times in the first part of The Stranger. In class, we had explored the idea of ​​absurdism and looked at examples of it in history. Absurdity is definitely a theme in this novel. Meursault was always shown as different from the outside world. Meursault accepted his and his mother's deaths. Meursault saw the purpose of life as meaningless. The reader is taught the idea of ​​absurdism. The idea of ​​the Absurd is easily misunderstood and connected with negative meanings. To keep the absurd alive you just have to live the absurd. “Life will be lived more fully to the extent that it has no meaning.” (Camus I) is a quote from the stranger that proves this. To read a book by Albert Camus, the reader must realize, first of all, that the rader is an author who does not believe in God. He is predominantly atheist. The main characters of The Stranger is a fiction, therefore, one can probably expect them not to believe the problem of faith. The first response then, as a reader, might usefully be a brief consideration of what might happen to a character who comes to realize that God does not exist. What happens when he realizes that his death is definitive, that his joys, his disappointments and his sufferings are brief glimpses that prelude to an afterlife of nothingness is that he accepts it. By not caring about his mother's death, he is perceived as a worse person, which will backfire on him at the end of the story. This is an example of absurdity because its decision to be lazy and you...... middle of paper......choices that ultimately decide your existence. And therefore, Meursault's existence was meaningless after he killed the Arab and that is why he wanted people to come to his execution and be angry at him, so that he could be remembered. The choice to kill the Arab made any future action inevitable because it had ended his life and, as he expected, made no difference to the universe. If people had gone to his execution, it would have been proven wrong as his existence was not a waste. In the novel The Stranger, absurdism is an invaluable theme. Our exploration of his concepts shows these ideas of the absurd. Whether it's the consequences of not caring enough for his mother that led to his death, or his decision to kill the Arab, it shows the idea of ​​absurdism and the impact of your choices. This is why the theme of absurdism is so important to the novel.
