"The Stranger": Analysis

Author: Albert Camus

I. Biographical Insights

A. Albert Camus' cultures consist of being a novelist, literature and short

story writer of many books. He wrote an essay on the state of Muslims in

Algeria, causing him to lose his job and he moved to Paris. Albert Camus also

joined the French resistance against the Nazis and became an editor of "Combat",

an underground newspaper. He was dissatisfied with the editorial of the Board

and left the underground newspaper. B. Albert Camus, son of a working-class

family, was born in Algeria in 1913, in an extreme poverty area. He spent the

standards. 2. He most likely to weave into his writing the ideal of setting

moral standards and placing the comfort that an individual would need to have in

facing difficulty in his life. He would also set a goal by facing any problems

that may exist in every day living and by placing God into your life, no matter

what the situation might look like, bad or good, you will always come through it.

II. Characters

A. The plot concerns a man, an apparently ordinary man, who, without any real

compelling reason, commits a murder, and his apparently insensitive reaction to

it. This isn't because he is without feelings, but because he is beginning to

realize that life isn't everything that he had previously thought it to be. This

series of events starts with he death of his mother, and although he loved her,

he finds he does not experience much genuine regret at her death, and refuses to
