Stranger II

A feeling of Guilt, regret lets us know when we have done something wrong. can be found in even the samllest things in life. i strongly regret waiting until the last minute on sunday to write this. i kept reminding myself to do it, but kept getting distracted. so here i am writing to pound out some thoughtful ideas. not cool. not cool. but having a feeling of guilt kinda helps people more forward. it makes progression. making people aware of how they have an effect on a situation and to adjust so they do ot make the same mistake. in my case not waiting this long to have started writing. its an expected feeling for everyone. and along with the definitions of right and wrong we all generally follow the expected actions.

And if, (IF) i ever killed a man. unlike Mersault naturally i would feel pretty guilty. and i would strongly regret making the choice i did, as opposed to my another option. Mersault, the stranger is strange. he is different. and has trouble trying to deal with the emotions that are expected of him. in the very first line of the book Meursault shows that it simply does not matter to him that his mother has died. where most people would be emotionally beat. he does not show the slightest sign of sadness.

Mersault does not show emotion, he simply accepts things for what they are. which is sometime hard for people to do. but it explains why he does not live with any guilt, even after killing someone. He is never looking for something more or less. he is always content. In chapter 5 Mersault comments that “one life was as good as another” i think this expresses a lot about him. by saying this he implies that no ones life is more important than another.
