I read The Stranger many years ago (Camus).
I could relate to the main character Meursault and his lack of reaction to his mother's death being used against him. He had nothing to do with her death but somehow his sentencing later for a manslaughter charge was influenced by that. Defending himself became less the issue than his demeanor.
His indifference to mankind, social construct (read: religion), etc. was his undoing.
Not feeling the proper way was wrong. No, not ACTING like he felt the proper way was wrong.
Please seat yourself.
