ESSAY ON: Perspective Narrative in Camus' The Outsider

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: ( 8 pp.) The philosophy of The Outsider (1942) is a philosophy of the absurd. The narrator of the piece is a middle-class bachelor, Monsieur Meursault; we are told that he is viewed as someone of little if any consequence. And the amazing bit of news is that he doesn't care how he is viewed at all, because all of society is absurd, and he is just a small piece of it. So what one does - is simply what one does, as Meursault really does have a "benign indifference of the universe." This discussion will examine how the narrator, Meursault, aka Camus, gets that message across.
