Dear author, can I be an operations officer for fun?😍

The Outsider is the representative work of the French writer Camus. Camus: won the Nobel Prize for Literature and is the spokesperson of absurd literature. His representative works include: The Plague, The Happy Death, Caligula, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Outsider, The Outsider. The main theme: In a meaningless world, individuals fight against hypocritical social disciplines with honesty, and finally complete their resistance to absurdity in sober despair. Outsider story: Absurdity: the fundamental break between man and the world The famous sentence at the beginning of the novel, "Today, my mother died. Maybe it was yesterday, I don't know." Sets the tone of the entire work - indifference. Meursault, the protagonist, shows an almost numb calmness towards his mother's death, love, promotion, and even his own murderous behavior. This kind of "indifference" is not ruthless, but Camus' most honest response to "absurdity": The world itself has no meaning: people are inexplicably thrown into this world, sunrise and sunset, work and work, day after day, until one day the question of "why" emerges, and people suddenly find themselves incompatible with this world. Meursault is a typical example of the "absurd man": he refuses to impose meaning on a meaningless world and refuses to perform the emotions expected by society. He doesn't cry, not because he's not sad, but because he really doesn't feel sad - he chooses to be true to his true feelings. Social Criticism: Judicial and Moral Hypocrisy The second part of the novel (the trial) is the most ironic part of the book. Meursault was sentenced to death, ostensibly because he shot an Arab on the beach, but actually because he did not cry at his mother's funeral. In the court, no one from the prosecutor, judge, or priest really cared about the murder itself. Instead, they took the details of him smoking, drinking coffee at the funeral, and watching comedy movies on a date the next day to portray him as a moral monster who "soul matricide." Camus used this to expose: The alienation of judicial procedures: the law is supposed to judge behavior, but it has become a moral theater to judge souls and personalities. Society's destruction of "non-conformists": Meursault's "crime" is not murder, but his refusal to perform emotions according to social scripts. A person who doesn't cry is more scary to society than a murderer. Truth and Hypocrisy: The Dilemma of Authentic Existence The most "dangerous" thing about Meursault is that he doesn't lie. Mary asked him if he loved her, and he said, "Probably not, but that doesn't matter." The boss asked him if he was willing to go to Paris for development, and he said, "Anything will work." The priest asked him to repent and believe in God, but he flatly refused. This extreme insistence on "authenticity" made him an "outsider" in society. What Camus wants to say is: In a society that requires everyone to perform emotions and abide by established rules, truth itself is a kind of rebellion. Resistance: Freedom from Despair The end of the novel is Meursault's spiritual awakening. Before his execution, he rejected the priest's salvation and calmly accepted the inevitability of death. At this moment, he felt the "moving indifference" of the world and a strange happiness. This is Camus's "philosophy of resistance": Recognize the absurd → Accept the absurd → Stick to the truth in the absurd Meursault finally understood that everyone will eventually be sentenced to death, but sooner or later. Since the ending is doomed, living truthfully and soberly is the most powerful counterattack against absurdity This is the essence of the outsider, and the prosthetic body of the outsider in the novel ran out of the novel, conforming to the outside, and flashing and hiding are also Merle's The Innerness of Cable Summary: "The Stranger" is the literary incarnation of Camus' philosophy of absurdity. Its core theme can be summarized as follows: individuals fight against hypocritical social disciplines with honesty in a meaningless world, and finally complete their resistance to absurdity in sober despair. The following will break down the theme of this novel for you from four levels: 🌍 Absurdity: the fundamental break between man and the world The famous sentence at the beginning of the novel, "Today, my mother died.

Since the outcome is doomed, living truthfully and soberly is itself the most powerful counterattack against absurdity. 📌 One sentence summary "The Outsider" is not the story of a murderer, but the story of how a person who refused to lie was swallowed up by a society that requires everyone to lie. Meursault's "indifference" is precisely his most honest and brave response to this absurd world. This is why Sartre evaluated it as "the best book since the Armistice", and Roland Barthes called it "the first classic post-war novel" - it pokes at the deepest dilemma of modern people: in a society where everyone wears a mask, those who take off the mask become aliens.
