Title: The Stranger: A thought provoking yet depressive novel
Review: The Stranger (or the Outsider depending on translation) is a novel that will make you question your life, how you live it and the reason for it. Although written in the 1940's its content is still totally relevant today and allows the reader a bitter- sweet read through Camus' use of simple yet decadent language.The main protagonist Meursault lives his life by the sun, but circumstances push him closer to the death that he has spent all of his life living for. The novel is entirely ambiguous but this is what makes it such a fascinating read as each reader interprets the text differently to satisfy their own personal self. Camus leaves us questioning all aspects of life including mortality, nature, religion, society, love and hate with all of these themes combining to make The Stranger a thought provoking yet depressive novel that must be read.
