Journal 9

Meursault is a very interesting character. Interesting in that there is not much life to him. He is quite...monotone....i think thats the right word. He does not have very much interest in what he is doing. He goes about his days very evenly, there are no ups or downs, its just one flat line (like a heart monitor :) ). This could ephasize Camus' exitentialism. Meursault's boring existence could also be compared to other characters later in the book who actually have some life in them.
