The Stranger, Chapter 2 Analysis

Nothing much has happened to Meursault. He continues careing less for his mother's death and is now looking forward to move on with his life as if nothing had happened. He is now home, where we now see new aspects of his life. He is much more social than before as we find out something of his friends. During the weakend he spends some time with Marie Cardona a co-worker and we find out that he has a very good relationship with her. After all there is some importance that he is giving to existance, spending some time with Marie.

In the other hand they mention some of his friends or co- workers, that probably are less incompetent than him. But from his few friends we get to know more of Raymond Sintes. He is Meursault's neighbor, and they both have a similar of responding to society and what surrounds them. I think that they are very similar except for they're way of acting in distinct situations. Meursault is much more calmed and morally correct than Raymond, which is completely amoral, and who could manipulate Meursault taking over his inocense. Meursault is now reminding me of those kinds of people who are tempted to do what they don't want to do to receive personal confidence.

Now it is easier for me as a reader to understand Meursault and his response to the world, but still I don't see myself involved in this way of taking life.
