After having seen Meursault in various situations most people would consider frighteningly immoral I have come to the conclusion that his lack of emotion and engagement with his surrounding peers has made his perception of the world a bit distorted and deprived of what actual human engagement and reality is. As the readers, we are left with missing pieces that should purposely make us find our own path to take when reading The Stranger. My question is "If Meursault were more engaging and emotionally captivated by his surroundings, would the story be told differently?"
Thesis: Meursault's lack of emotional and interest driven presence prevents the reader from truly experiencing everything that occurs to him in his life.
