The Stranger Blog Response 3

From what I understand of The Stranger, I believe that Camus is trying to show the world how an existentialist lives. Meursualt's life is a constant struggle to just live day by day, yet we as humans plan for tomorrow and still ponder about the past by reflecting on memories. I believe that the discussion question that plays the most part in The Stranger is, "Life is a series of choices, creating stress." You see that no matter what, Meursault has a hard time deciding what to do and blames it on the sun. Especially when he chooses if he should kill the Arab or not, he starts feeling uncomfortable and emotionally and physically emotionally stressed. He has a hard time deciding what to do, and once he decides, he starts being an existentialist, and that he doesn't care from that point on. While he is in the decision making process, he can't figure out what to do and so he blames it on the sun and how it affects him. That's why this question relates so much to the novel. You see a way that Camus related his character to everyday people.
