I think he explores the idea of bottling up our emotions in the final scene, I think this could mean that camus is suggesting an outlet for emotions and effort, I think he's similar to voltaire in that way
That final scene still confuses me to this day especially his line "I wish they were more people there to look at me with hatred in their eyes" it seems to me that he wants others to hate him in his final moments in a way this would put a meaning to his death which is completely different from the message of the story
I really liked your analysis. I finished the stranger and had read "a happy death" as well. Reading the stranger caused me frustration because Meursault is asked on repeated occasions to respond, to react, or to defend himself. Your analysis made it all clear, he won't defend himself, because it makes no sense to fight for a life that has no meaning. It is a really good book, and I am happy to have come across your analysis.
Or Camus himself was a functional psychopath. He identified with his hero, his philosophy was just a concept which tried to explain his emotionless inner world, a euphemism to this state actually, and after two world wars this concept was seen as a truth by many because they were traumatized. A good answer to that was Tom Ripley by Patricia Highsmith by the way.
Thanknyou! I read this book in a time I was incredibly busy I felt I couldn’t really absorb it properly. I couldn’t drop the book down. Great video essay
my girl thanks alllooot your English is beautiful and descriptive yet simple to understand (as a non-English speaker) let alone the video and the music annnnd ofc your content
Albert Camus did not know the notion of innocence of existing permanently (this is not a pious joke, but a real point of view that philosophy and even society should study closely), which is due to the fact that we have all been forced to exist, imperfectly manufactured by our parents with the agreement of society, imperfectly educated by parents and society, and forcibly introduced into society, which is in fact a real jungle of humans in permanent competition. If I had been in the place of the lawyer of the young man, the Stranger, I could have said many things to Justice, starting with this permanent innocence of people which is due to the fact that society is associated with our birth and our education therefore with all our physical and mental defects, and therefore of course it is responsible for our behavior. Society desires us, but then once we are manufactured it demands that we make ourselves desired just to survive. Isn't that absurd? Isn't that absurd? And I'm not talking about the doubt that benefits the accused when the universe is most likely deterministic and free will has never been demonstrated... Why does Justice have so much trouble listening to scientific truth, and so much trouble agreeing with its own ethics? Life does not have more meaning because it would have an extension in the afterlife, it is just longer... Life does not have more meaning because a god created it, the meaning that any entity gives to my life is not the meaning that I give to it, and whether he is a god or a human changes nothing. No one should be able to impose his own ideas on other people. The meaning of my life and the meaning of another's life are not the same, and it is not because this other gives meaning to his life that he must impose life on another person who does not have to accept ideas that his parents or society will impose on him (parents rarely have the same ideas on this subject and any other). _
Just finished the book yesterday at the request of a friend. She really enjoyed it but I didn’t personally find it very interesting. There were a few interesting angles, but overall it just seemed to be a proclamation of indifference. Maybe I’m missing the value in it, but as of now it doesn’t feel like much
very cool video, subscribed as well; but i would really appraciate if you could go into deeper meanings; i feel like you are cutting on commenting about something because you may feel like it might be wrong (?) but at the end this kind of act makes the video less interesting or to think about. feel like ur capable of doing those comments so if you are afraid to do so; please dont be. thanks.

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I SAW IT OMGGG

@@Heishim143 He may be mocking them, after all they are the ones who choose to go to the execution
4:30 I wouldnt say he rejected anything. he simply doesn't care enough to conform to it. Its meaningless to change, nor does he see reason tp.

Excellent presentation. Your analysis of the novel is profound. Bravo!
death is also mentioned when the neighbor's dog is most likely dead and the protagonist is annoyed by his need to talk it out with someone
