About This Novel
"The Outsider" uses an objective record-type "zero style" to describe the protagonist Meursault's various absurd plots and experiences from attending his mother's funeral to accidentally becoming a murderer, and then to being sentenced to death. Meursault seems to be indifferent to everything, existing rationally and irrationally indifferently, maintaining an excessive honesty and unvarnished and flattering frankness. Even if this kind of catering is to avoid unnecessary trouble, or even to obtain favorable conditions related to life and death, he categorically refuses to regard false scams as the eternal hope. He fully acknowledges the limitations of life and lives a sober, unflinching life based only on honesty and courage. Living in truth to preserve the dignity of life, this "outsider" style that is incompatible with society eventually led to his death, or in other words, made him freely move towards his own destiny. Meursault's experience promotes the absurdity and meaninglessness of life, and also shows the free and passionate spirit of resistance. "The Outsider" is one of Camus' famous and representative novels. It can be called one of the famous novels with epoch-making significance in the entire Western literary world in the 20th century. "The Outsider" has thus become the most classic character image and keyword in Western literature and philosophy.
