Why was there so much focus on the sun? I don't get it.

There can be an earth, but with no sun there can be no life. Tying sexuality to the sun and earth, the sun is the male and earth the female. Men were and still are considered the dominant gender. Ergo the sun became the primary focus of religion being the masculine influence.

Perpetual vigilance and eternal hellfire.

nigga go campin in the winter and you'll see why people worshiped the sun

I don't think the sun was meant to have any special meaning. It just shows that when something is a constant annoyance in your environment, it can have a negative effect on your mind. It was just another little thing, like how he acted at his mom's funeral.

Meursault is very comfortable in his body and satisfying his primal urges (eat, sleep, fuck) comes first. That sunray relfected in the knife the Arab was holding hit him right in the eye and he felt physically attacked by it. He doesn't like feeling uncomfortable.

the sun is something similar to the boulder in the myth of Sisyphus

it is an nonnegotiable burden upon humanity yet also integral to its existence

How is the boulder integral to Sisyphus' existence?
