CAMUS’ THE STRANGER: EXISTENTIAL THEMES IN THE NOVEL.


14801. CAMUS’ THE STRANGER: EXISTENTIAL THEMES IN THE NOVEL. This paper explores the existential themes of alienation, freedom, isolation, choice and moral logic in Camus’ 1946 novel, looking first at the meaning and scope of his existentialism and the core of this philosophy, then considering how Camus introduces and develops those themes. Camus’ novel is shown to present the major philosophical themes or concerns of existentialism in a fictional form, while rejecting all the more hopeful explanations and excuses of existential philosophers, past and present. Argues that he central character Meursault symbolizes and expresses the fundamental existential dilemma: the meaningless of life, the futility of love and feeling in the face of death, and the inability to reach out to or change other human beings, either for the better or for the worse. KEYWORDS: camus existentialism novel review critique alienation. Written 2003. 11 pages, 15 footnotes, 7 bibliographic references. 2,519 words.   $77
