Soon after, Meursault and Raymond have an encounter with the girl’s brother and his friend on the beach where one of them cuts Raymond on the arm with a knife. One day, he accidentally becomes involved in a dispute between his neighbour, Raymond, and a girl who may have caused him some harm. He returns home, and for the next few weeks he lives his normal life, occasionally seeing a young lady by the name of Marie. This classic in modern literature beings as Meursault attends the funeral of his own mother, where he expresses very little remorse, if any.
Meursault who seems to care and feel nothing for anyone, not even himself. In Albert Camus‘ The Stranger, we get to see a rather extreme case of indifference, that of Mr. The degree of indifference varies from person to person, but we all exhibit in our daily lives because after all, we would be real emotional wrecks if we really tried to care about everything happening around us it is in our nature to only care for a certain number of things and commit ourselves to them. We’ve all more or less had bouts of indifference in life, periods during which we felt down and didn’t care one way or the other for the world around us.
