Is there truly any justice in the novel The Stranger, written by Albert
Is there sincerely yours any(prenominal) justice in the novel The Stranger, written by Albert Camus?Is there truly any justice in the novel The Stranger, written byAlbert Camus? This is a question that naturally protrudes throughoutthe novel, as it is non abundantly wee what Meursault, theprotagonist, was, in fact, put on footrace for. At the beginning of the randomness part of the narrative, it is understood that he is put on trialfor the make of an Arab however, it later comes to our attentionthat the murder was not the primary reason of his trial, and perhapsnot even an essential nonpareil for that matter. The fact remains thatMeursault was undoubtedly put on trial, not for the murder committed,but for being the focusing he was unemotional through the eyes of parliamentary procedure,which was represented by the jury.To the ratifier it seems provided natural that one should be put on trial,not for their personality, but for the harmful acts that one maycommit to anothe r person. Therefore, the appraisal is strongly implanted inthe novel, as well as the psyche of the reader, that Meursault was puton trial for murder. Nevertheless, throughout the course of the novel,it becomes apparent that he was, as a matter of fact, not put on trialfor the murder of the Arab, but instead, for acting in such a unemotionalmanner. Being the honest, straightforward man he was, he answered allquestions in that same conduct. Once Meursault had been appointed alawyer, his lawyer inquired over the events of Mamans funeral.Meursault responded preferably coldly when his lawyer had asked him if hehad felt any sadness that day, construction that he probably did loveMaman, but that didnt mean anything. At one time or another allnormal people pass water wished their loved ones dead. (... ...(p. 96) Thisis a rather profound statement that affects not only the characters inthe novel, but the reader as well, rather intensely.Thus, it becomes palpable that society, in other words, the juryattempted to fabricate and impose rational explanations forMeursaults infatuated actions. The fact that he was sostraightforward and onest was disruptive and threatening to theirsociety as they were not accustomed to it, and therefore, they saw nomeaning, which would consequently have chaos in their orderly lives.Meursault appears to do as he pleases, when he pleases, and therefore,follows no pattern throughout his life, hence, society becomesthreatened by him, which in conclusion leads to his execution.Bibliography1.
