About Albert Camus' The Stranger

Let me talk you all about The Stranger, an a novel by Albert Camus’ novel. I assume that everybody here has read this classic book. If you do haven’t, I’ll give you a brief summary: Mersault is a guy that didn’t cry after his mother’s death; Mersault would agreed to marry his girlfriend(?) María just because she wanted this, and not because he had fallen in love with her. He tells her exactly that to her. Mersault kills an Arab and is sent to the jail (The Cure made a song about that chapter of the book). In the his trial, when the judge asks him why he killed the Arab, Mersault answers “because of the heat”. The attorney counsels Mersault that he has to lie if he wants to save his life. He refuses -  Mersault never lies, he always tell the truth, he is an honest man that says whatever he thinks. At the end of the book Mersault is sentenced to death.

Albert Camus in the prologue of The Stranger’s English version told said that what he wanted to do with Mersault was to portray a modern version of Jesus Christ. Someone that wasere sentenced to death only just for believing in and insisting on the Truth.

If everyone behaved like Mersault, the social building society would fall apart. Because of that we need to “enter in the game”, we need the lies, the hypocrisy, the daily rituals that maintain the cohesion of human relationships.

Tips: Remember that verbs must be conjugated, just like in Spanish. Verbs in the third person have an -s on the end. Nationalities and names of languages are always capitalized. The verb "talk" can never take direct objects. Hope this helps!
