Climax

Wow!!!!Fianlly something different has happened in the novel. After reading chapter 6, the story changes drastically. I would have never expected that Meursault would have had the guts to pull the trigger and kill the Arab guy. This is very peculiar and interesting at the same time, because it would be very naive to think that it was something that just appeared. With this I mean that Camus definetly planned to write the novel in a plain way, with lots of details, but having very little important aspects to them, so that when he decided to post such an event, the reader would react in amazement. Now I start to understand the meaning of the book and what Camus is trying to do by amazing us with such abrupt events. Since chapter 2 I wanted something like this to happen in the novel, because I was starting to get bored by the fact that nothing changed. This is definetly the climax of the novel, and I have to say, WHAT A GREAT CLIMAX!!!Camus was filling the story with monotonous events so that as readers we would get distracted and apart our thoughts from expecting such remarkable events.

I agree with you completely that the writer did it this way so thatb this would be kind of the climax, but I disagree in the fact that you would think that Mersault didnt have the guts to shoot him, because I think that since Mearsaukt is the stranger he doesnt care about anything even shooting a guy.

I'm glad you found this event in the novel interesting, but what does it mean? How do you respond? Also, you need to analyze to a much greater extent. Where are the citations, etc.?

All that is fine. However, you are not asking yourself what does it mean? Why do we do things? Why do we not do things when we can?
