The Stanger

Meursault is an interesting character that cannot be defined using stereotypes. He is a true independent; he may have some friends but they are not a result of his longing for them. He lives life simply to live life. Regarding his bravery, he exemplifies the bravest and weakest of traits. He consistently shows no emotion, I personally think this is a characteristic of a weak individual. It is hard to justify someone who cannot express their emotions as being brave. On the other hand he faces all situations with a calm and cool demeanor. When faced with prison time he is accepting and introspective and while he does not show emotion on the outside he still sustains the ability to think on the inside.
