Example text

Meursault is easily and often confused. We observed several instances of this in Part One and especially in the first two chapters of Part Two. The call for adjournment bewilders Meursault, as does his being hustled into the prison van and given a midday meal. He is tired when he is returned to the courtroom, confronting the same faces and starting the trial over again. This is, in a sense, punishment for Meursault: in addition to his being tired and disconcerted by the court proceedings, the heat has increased.

One might think that he protests too quickly. He does explain that Meursault had no motive for killing the Arab, that it was he, Raymond, who had the grudge against the Arab. " This is true, but the prosecutor knows a great deal about this murder, for he asks Raymond about Meursault's writing the defaming letter to the dead Arab's sister. To this question, Raymond can answer only that it was mere chance, which gives the prosecutor an opportunity to chant "chance" and "mere coincidence" as playing much too large a role in the murder.

In contrast, Meursault is calm and bored; of course he knows that one might wish, perhaps at times, for an afterlife, but such wishes are a waste of time. Humanity cannot change death's being an eternal void. Meursault's request that the chaplain leave is not granted. The man is determined to squeeze out of Meursault some piece of his humanity that must be spiritual--which, in a sense, he does manage to accomplish. com remember this life on earth. For Meursault, a spiritual existence is absolutely impossible unless it consists of a mind, residing in eternity, and doing one thing: remembering the pleasure of a man's former, physical life.
