Stranger #5

Camus creates a part one and a part two because he wants to make sure that we see the difference and the changes of Meursault's character in the second half of the book.
In oart two of The Stranger, we start to see small but noticable changes in Meursaults character and how he feels."[...] for the first time in years I had this stupid urge to cry, because I could feel how much all these people hated me." (Camus 89-90). Here he expresses his emotions. In part one, Meursault does not have as in depth feeling, he simply states what he thinks. "After the funeral, though, the case will be closed and everything will have a more official feel to it." even when he finds out his mother has passed he does not express his emotions. He is factual and orderly. Through the difference is his emotions we can see him becaome a more person like and a more dynamic character. Meursault becomes more human to us, we can relate to him and his hardships. Because of this we find it easier to feel bad for him because of his lack of emotions.
