Even though man may be helping some animals, we still have control over them. We…

Faithfully yours.’ That doesn’t mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.” (Camus 3) The perplexing tale of Meursault, an emotionally detached and seemingly amoral young man living in Algiers, stands notoriously as the introduction to “the absurd.” Albert Camus coined this school of thought, using The Stranger as a mechanism for expressing his ideas in the novel that has confused, overwhelmed, and disoriented readers for decades since its publication.

The focal subject is that the essentialness of human life is seen just in light of mortality, or the reality of death; and in demonstrating…

While in the beginning of the book Meursault is…
