It's actually a story about the influx of Arab immigrants into western society and the modern Aryan man's slowly simmering violence against them. The book is not a philosophical treatise but rather a call to arms against the foreign invasion overruning our societies. The central theme is not man's place in a cold uncaring world and his reaction against it, but rather what a white man ought do when faced with a foreign Arab: shoot him in the fricking head. I'm surprised they allow such extremist literature to be published and circulated.
he didn't cry at his mum's funeral so they killed him, basically his problem was not caring about the things people usually care about although in the end he finds solace in the thought that the universe doesn't care about those things either, a reflexion of the author's philosophical views. this was the second book i ever read in the french language after le petit prince and now my french is pretty decent.
The man he shoots is the brother of Raymond's mistress, who he has beaten and abused. The man drew a knife and shoots out of self defense. Raymond gives him the gun, he is a pimp and is caught up with violent criminals.
>When Raymond handed me his gun, the sun glinted off it... I realized at that point that you could either shoot or not shoot.
The glistening sun is his frustration from confronting the threat after going to the beach to relax. He befriends Raymond as he is a social outcaust like Mersault, after his mother's funeral, and is caught up in this drama for absurd and meaningless reasons.
>The man drew a knife and shoots out of self defense.
As in, Raymond was beating the man's sister so he draws a knife on him. Meursault, the settler, happens to be with Raymond and gets involved with the gun.
This board aspires to be a place of discussion about art, philosophy and meaning, yet books like The Stranger and No Longer Human instantly confound its users because sex doesn't fix all of the protagonist's problems.
He was human

He was, uh..
Oh Anon, how do i put this. . .

>go to algeria
>wtf why are there so many arabs
>this is an invasion!
The story takes place in Algeria you troglodyte.
(You)
1488
Based take
The story is set in French Algeria, which is in North Africa. The Frenchman is the immigrant in the Arab country, or what was once a colony.
shut up you racist
Least moronic /misc/tard

We must stop the invasion of French controlled Northern Africa! (I don't think its the same as 1488 but you know, what do the details matter anyway.)
he was a nihilist in an absurdist world
Purely socioeconomic factors
A chemical imbalance in the brain
sun too hot cause bang bang on arab
He was a self-aware frenchman. It's a very serious condition. Terminal too, I'm afraid.
Why didn't he just try and stop being French?
Terminal means you can't do anything about it unfortunately. Once you have it, its over.

He just didn't care about much

Should sex havers be allowed to complain about things?
I remember thinking how blasé he sounded about banging his GF.
>Algeria
Any sane man would do the same.
> life was le meaningless
I can actually sympathize tbh
He was a psychopath, which I guess is supposed to be endearing. It wasn’t. I’m glad he was executed.
