Stranger Journal 2

Meursault's activities during the first two chapters are not too interesting. The story is written without much explanation or insight of what is happening to him at different parts of the novel and gives the reader only a very brief explanation into what Meursault is doing or thinking at the time. Meursault also does not seem to think too much but is fully in control of his thoughts and what he does throughout the beginning of the book. Camus creates a character like Meursault to better show the reader how the philosophy of existentialism is created through the personalities and thoughts of his protagonist.
