The Stranger 4

Mersault is in jail becuase he killed an arab. In this point of the novel we really start thinking that Mersault doesnt have a point in life. The jury asked him if he loved his mother and he said yes as anyone would. He didnt showed any sign of sadness or of disgust by his mothers death. The way I see Mersault is like an old person y the body of a rebel teenager that thinks that he came to life only to live it without any worries and that a person mind can adjust to any kind of situation and doesnt suffer, like when he said that ¨if a person is born in jail, he would last 100 years in it¨. This means he doesnt really feel any anger towards him being in jail. But on the other hand if he says he doesnt feel anyhting why did he kill the arab, that means he has a sign of anger towards him but who knows maybe later on in the novel will find something out.
