Disillusionment in the Stranger

In Albert Camus The Stranger the Meursault is clearly disillusioned of life and two examples of this disillusionment occurred in the instances of his dumbfounds death and an offer to be transferred to another work environment. The fresh The Stranger by Albert Camus portrays how Meursault is disillusioned about things that seem to be the closely normal basic human concepts of understanding such as his mothers death. With his mothers death, he seemed indifferent at the outlet of her life in every way possible. He was so uninterested in her funeral that he remarked the following I can be there for the vigil and come back tomorrow night (Camus 3). His mother appeared to slow him down. As if he felt he had better things to do. He claimed he never went to trim her in the nursing home because she enjoyed it too much. Nonetheless, he admitted, that the visit took up my Sunday not to boot the trouble of getting to the bus, buying tickets, and spending two hours traveling (Camus 5). Thi s shows the true lack of care in his mothers death. To further define his insensitivity, Meursault shed not even one tear in this part of the novel moreover, he expressed no form of sorrow whatsoever.Secondly, Meursaults attitude and reaction toward an offer to be relocated to a Parisian location was a monumental indicator of his insensitivity. One would expect him to accept or decline the offer graciously and respectfully. Meursault proved, again, to be unpredictable when he states, in regard to his then new life in Paris it was all the same to me (Camus 41). Caught off-guard by his response, Meursaults boss asked yet another inquire was Meursault interested in a change of life? Unmoved, Meursault further retorted that one life was as unsloped as another, and, furthermore, he wasnt unhappy with his current life in any way.Meursaults boss screamed at him, let out that Meursault never gave him a straight answer and had no ambition his boss sad both of which were black qualitie s in business (Camus 41). Both scenarios are synonymous in that they are prime examples of Meursaults stolidity and dark un-appreciation of life. In both cases he was unexpressive, unmoved in either direction happiness or sorrow. The funeral film director and Meursaults boss were indeed taken aback at Meursaults attitude. Neither, however, was successful in swaying Meursault and drawing him away from his isolated way of thinking.
