>>9870518
Wasn't it self-defense? My memory may be fuzzy, but I remember the Arab having a knife and issuing a threat. That's reason enough for me.

Im real sick of explaining this, but he shoots the arab because he doesn't want to return to Marie a beta little cuck. It literally says so right in the text. Women are poison to men.

>>9870583
this, everything else is wrong

in the face of the absurd, motivations are meaningless

was Camus's character a nihilist?

I keep reading it's an existential work, but it doesn't put forward the same outlook on life as Nietzsche or Dostoevsky's work

>>9870579
They are simply inferior to us as men of rationality and logic

Why do roasties like to read this book so much? And I'm talking about the one on the right, not Taytay of course

>>9870780
They are inferior of mind compared to men, who generally gravitate towards more conservative and righteous authors, like tolstoy, homer, and dante.
Women just love twilight and harry potter, and the stranger. That's why rick and morty is also a girl show

>>9870780
>>9870787
I would say it's because it's a classic that is also a very easy read, so you can seem well read without any effort. Much like a fashion accessory.

>>9870803
nah it's because women are simply inefrior and only read it for others sake, unlike men, who read stuff because they feel it in their souls

>>9870787
>righteous
>women are dumb meme

>>9870809

so, what I said then?

Made it sound like you defended women, when its a result of how inferior they are to us as white men

What did Camus mean by this?

>>9870579
I had to pick up my copy and reread it to see if this was true, but i couldnt find it anywhere? Could you post the quote?

>>9870518
You really missed the point of the book, do you ?

>>9870968
Coincidentally, I just read this for the first time today, and I recall him explaining he didn't want to return to the crying of the women or something along that line, which I think is where that Anon got his interpretation from.

Arabs BTFO

This book will always be special to me. The first time I read it I found it mediocre, but the second time I read it was the day of my psychotic break. Reading it in the library and laughing hysterically at the robot woman who comes and writes down everything that he orders before he orders it is a fond memory. Then I read Capitalism and Schizophrenia in the psych ward and realized that Mersault, like Judge Schreber just had sunbeams in his ass.

>>9871036
>woman who comes and writes down everything that he orders
wow, I completely forgot about that part.
What was that about?

>>9871124
Very good.

>>9871151
it would be extremely meaningless

It's because the sun is annoying and he vents his frustration.
He literally says so in the court.

>>9871090I went by myself to Céleste’s. When I had just started my dinner an odd-looking little woman came in and asked if she might sit at my table. Of course she might. She had a chubby face like a ripe apple, bright eyes, and moved in a curiously jerky way, as if she were on wires. After taking off her closefitting jacket she sat down and started studying the bill of fare with a sort of rapt attention. Then she called Céleste and gave her order, very fast but quite distinctly; one didn’t lose a word. While waiting for the hors d’oeuvre she opened her bag, took out a slip of paper and a pencil, and added up the bill in advance. Diving into her bag again, she produced a purse and took from it the exact sum, plus a small tip, and placed it on the cloth in front of her.

Upon rereading the passage my recollection of it was incorrect. Like I said, I was psychotic at the time and it made me aware of the 'syncronicity' (how i interpreted my psychosis) all around me and gave me the unnerving idea that everything was predetermined

As to what it means in the context of the story? I think it just shows that mersault isn't the only one alienated from society.

>>9870753
Yes Mersault is a nihilist. His mother dies at the beginning and he really doesnt give a fuck. Has a gf but wheres the sign of passionate intrigue? Murders a man and the reason is... the sun was too much? Only til the very end does Mersault realize the tragic error of his ways, and the very last few lines are Mersault actively looking forward to his death, finally giving a fuck about what happens to himself, despite the Absurd

Common theme with Camus, accepting moral responsibility for your actions despite the absurd

>>9871196
Why was she at the trial, too?

>>9871214
Because she's one of the reptillians that are constantly watching those of us who are woke.

Remove kebab.

Taylor Swift is literally a harpy that follows the "fuck em n leave em" mentality.

A good Christian woman should never do this.

He did it in revenge for his friend. Do you autists not know what friendship is?

>>9870518
In that given moment, he felt like it. He never cared for the consequences.

>>9870780
I'm also wondering why.

>>9871211
>Common theme with Camus, accepting moral responsibility for your actions despite the absurd
That's kind of interesting. I'm not sure if this was his intended meaning, but that's a lot of what I got out of Kafka's novels too. "Maybe if the MC stopped being such an asshole for five minutes, he would have gotten through that situation without fucking everything up."

>>9870780
A cursory reading or just looking at the synopsis makes it seem like it's literally /r9k/ the book.

>>9873050
How the fuck have you not read The Stranger? It's entry level. You have to go back!

He could have easily got out of it, just hire an actual lawyer and plea self defense. Why didn't he?

not that it matters

I get a feeling the entire book went over your head entirely

>>9874829
It wouldn't have bothered me so much if the autist didn't sperg out so hard after being sentenced, though I suppose that the whole point was that his brand of autistic indifference leads to shit outcomes

Would Camus have shitposted on /tv/ if he lived today?
