Disillusionment in the Stranger

In Albert Camus The Stranger the Meursault is clearly disillusi sensationd of flavor and two examples of this disillusionment occurred in the instances of his mothers death and an offer to be transferred to some other work environment. The novel The Stranger by Albert Camus portrays how Meursault is disillusioned about things that have the appearance _or_ semblance to be the most normal basic human concepts of understanding much(prenominal) as his mothers death. With his mothers death, he seemed indifferent at the loss 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 line up 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 sojourn her in the nursing home because she enjoyed it too much. Nonetheless, he admitted, that the visit took up my Sunday not to mention the trouble of getting to the bus, buying ti ckets, and pass two hours traveling (Camus 5). This shows the true lack of care in his mothers death. To get ahead define his insensitivity, Meursault shed not even one tear in this part of the novel moreover, he expressed no form of trouble whatsoever.Secondly, Meursaults attitude and reaction toward an offer to be relocated to a capital of Franceian location was a monumental indicator of his insensitivity. One would expect him to give or decline the offer graciously and respectfully. Meursault proved, again, to be unpredictable when he states, in regard to his then latest life in Paris it was all the same to me (Camus 41). Caught off-guard by his response, Meursaults boss asked yet another inquiry was Meursault interested in a change of life? Unmoved, Meursault further retorted that one life was as good as another, and, furthermore, he wasnt unhappy with his current life in any way.Meursaults boss screamed at him, crying that Meursault never gave him a straight answer and had no ambition his boss worrying some(prenominal) of which were disastrous qualities in business (Camus 41). Both scenarios are like in that they are prime examples of Meursaults stolidity and relentless un-appreciation of life. In both cases he was unexpressive, unmoved in either direction happiness or sorrow. The funeral director and Meursaults boss were indeed taken aback at Meursaults attitude. Neither, however, was undefeated in swaying Meursault and drawing him away from his uncaring way of thinking.
