Stranger Journal #2:

Meursault's actions are really simple, and empty of emotion. He does things in a manner where he is just trying to do common things, or what is usually done. Like the funeral he did this only because it was custom, he showed no emotion at the funeral. My reaction to this kinda gives an apathetic feel. Since he is showing no emotion, i have no real connection to him and don't really feel anything. He slightly has a arrogant or rude disposition though. The author might have created a protagonist to show a change later on in the book, or to just show how the protagonist reacts to other people. Then there can be a difference in how other people that come in contact with him have a change.
