Fortunately, you can start from scratch and look forward to a new world
While watching, I kept feeling sorry for the protagonist's numbness and alienation. I even hate him for always saying that he can do whatever he wants, hating him for not wanting to tell the court that he feels regretful, and hating him for marrying anyone he wants. Thinking about it later, I think I am probably like this, always unable to escape from the conventions and rules of this society, so I do what is conventional; I say what everyone wants to hear, even if it is a bit hypocritical; if I want to find someone to love, I may end up accompanying someone who is not loved but is suitable. In fact, the protagonist is the one who really understands himself, is firm enough, and sees through the absurdity of the rules, so he does not follow the crowd, but he is unable to integrate into this world because of this. I am not that determined, so I hate him, hate him for following his heart in everything, hate him for only telling the truth, hate him for having no regrets until death and being able to be embraced by the stars. In fact, I am not as good as him.
nice
The first time I read The Outsider, I read it in one sitting. An inexplicable shock stayed with me while I was reading it. After reading it, I felt completely bad. There is no doubt that Camus's "The Stranger" occupies an important position in the history of Chinese and foreign literature, with as many interpreters as the Tao Te Ching. The most impressive thing about The Outsider is nothing more than two things: the author's satire on the absurdity of human society and the protagonist Meursault's resistance to the rules of the game. These two points are so profound that all interpreters are unanimously overflowing with praise. I am no exception. The first thing that shocked me was Camus' straw-style narrative style. I had never seen such a writing style. It was like a primary school student's journal, completely devoid of any emotion or embellishment, just like a piece of wood talking to another piece of wood. But you don't feel childish and boring, but can feel a strong sense of oppression.
Confirming the sense of absurdity in life is never an end, but rather a beginning.
I seem to have caught something and yet seem to have caught nothing. What is meaningful in this absurd life? We always deliberately emphasize that something or something is meaningful or meaningless. However, it turns out that the meaning of life lies in truth. To truly feel oneself, feel nature, feel the breath, break all false rules, reject lies and deception, and pursue truth.
Short but full of profound connotations.
In our society, anyone who does not cry at his mother's funeral is liable to death.
Times have changed and the absurdity has become even more absurd. It is thought-provoking to read.
Okay, I admit that I didn't quite understand this book. Maybe it's because my reading ability hasn't reached this level yet.
It's just the beginning, I hope it's a good start
