He thinks at one point, “it was hard for me to believe really existed”.Īfter his arrest, he is alienated from society by his action and inability to account for it. Meursault has no desire to say goodbye to his mother or connect with the mourners in the room with him. He continually presents himself awkwardly, or not as those around him expect.
His emotions are stilted and often nonexistent. He separates himself from others by his inability or unwillingness to connect on a deep level. Meursault is the titular example of alienation from oneself, society, and nature. These are two of the most prominent themes, along with sadness. The novel deals directly with the idea of the meaninglessness of life.
