In "The Stranger," author Albert Camus creates Meursault, a character with very strange and stoic behaviors. As the story progresses, Meursault murders a man and is put on trial. Based on his different behavior, the jury is set to believe that Meursault is evil and decide to have him executed. Camus' creation of a man without morals shows how easily convinced society can be when led to believe that a person is strange or evil. Albert Camus created a character with immense emotions, deep and far-reaching; throwing him into a series of predicaments. Meursault appears to have no emotions, for instance in a conversation with his lover, Marie, who he has just met, Camus writes, "A minute later she asked me if I loved her I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so" (Camus 35).

It can be said that Meursault is so in shock that he cannot shed a tear even if he wanted to and that he does not know how to express his feelings. The day after the funeral Meursault meets a woman, Marie that he has feelings for. In the evening, Meursault encounters Marie at the beach, and the two strike a flame between them.
