Isra Kabir tries to complete her ever growing TBR list, while tackling her sleeping schedule. However, I think these questions will lose their significance as time passes by, and only the magical essence of Camus's thoughts and words shall remain with me. It poses very provocative questions for readers to contemplate: whether much of our emotion is created by ourselves or the expectations of others to exhibit certain emotions in a given situation. Because of Camus, I started to believe in the idea of relative truth and realised how differently people may weigh the different aspects and incidents which occur in their lives.Ĭamus's novel is a classic example of early modern anomie, alienation, and general indifference towards life. By showing someone, who is at the brink of death, feeling such certainty towards life and death, Camus made me contemplate my perspective on how to perceive life.
Meursault, in facing the knowledge that his death is imminent, has more certainty than the priest could ever possess. Stuart Gilbert, a British scholar and a friend of James Joyce, was the first person to attempt Camus’s L’Étranger in English. This altercation between Meursault and the priest truly baffled me.
