In many literary works, a character overcomes great obstacles to achieve a worthy goal. Sometimes obstacles are personal obstacles, other times they come from the attitudes and beliefs of others. In the book The Stranger by Albert Camus, shows the character of Meursault who is an emotionless character who lets others show him their opinions and emotions, giving him a kind of feeling even though Meursault doesn't care. Meursault contains the occasion of his emotional indifference among his friends and his social indifference. This essay will focus on the character's struggle and contribute to the meaning of the work as a whole. Meursault in the book tries to overcome his emotional indifference within himself. One example shows Meursault's emotional indifference towards Marie. In this quote: “A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told him it didn't mean anything but I didn't think so. The quote explains how Meursault doesn't really think about the consequences of other people's emotions. When he said in the quote it meant nothing to him, it shows that he believed that human life and emotions had no meaning. He also says I didn't mean it, showing that he has difficulty understanding and making his own interpretations of the human emotions of Marie and the others. Another example shown is that of Meursault against his mother's funeral. In this quote: “Mom died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know. I received a telegram from the home: “Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours. It doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday. This quote also shows that Meursault's idea of ​​human life makes no sense. This shows that Meursault thinks it doesn't really matter if his mother died, he is probably implying that his mother was going to die soon... middle of paper ...... according to him, a man morally culpable Killing one's mother cuts oneself off from society in the same way as a man who raises a murderous hand against his father who fathered him. This quote tells how society transmits its feelings and ideas to Meursault. The persecutor compares Meursault, impassive and devoid of remorse for his murder, to a person who kills his own father. Society views Meursault as an emotionless killer or as an outsider to society's morality. Meursault therefore cannot explain why he could not feel any emotion, impulse or thought of remorse for his murder. Finally, when the chaplain visits Meursault against his will, this scene shows how society expects everyone to ask God for forgiveness when death approaches. Meursault then finds that it is absurd and refuses to believe in him because he says that it is ridiculous and that we have no time at all.
