Everyone will experience death in their lifetime. This idea is shown in The Stranger by Albert Camus. The book explains how many will recieve life out of death. Through Meursault’s observations, Camus’ The Stranger demonstrates that for Meursault to find his meaning of life, he must observe his physical surroundings.
In the book you can see life during death many times. For instance, while Meursault is visiting his Mother’s dead body the room is “It was a bright, spotlessly clean room, with whitewashed walls and a big skylight”(5). In Camus’ The Stranger, Kathryn B.

Meursault overall just acts as a robot because he has no real emotions like a robot. He did not even cry at his own mother 's funeral. He did not have a good relationship with his mother but he still lost someone important to his life. And he does not even let one tear loose.
