Q1 How does the weather, and in particular, the sun, affect Meursault's mood and behavior? Why do you suppose it has any effect at all? Can Meursault truly believe that the scorching sun is a valid excuse for murdering the Arab?
Q2 How does Meursault change as an individual from the beginning of the book to the very end? How do we see these changes? Are Meursault's thoughts and feelings about death, for example, noticeably different by the end of the text? What about religion? Women?
Q3 In what sense does Meursault triumph at the end of The Stranger? (This was what Camus intended, but you're welcome to argue that, in fact, Meursault doesn't triumph at all.) Does Meursault overcome society's judgment, and thereby, its shackles? Or is it more important that he rebelled against conformity? And what's up with him wishing for a large crowd of hating spectators at his execution?
Q4 What was your favorite part of this book (or the experience of reading it topics discussed activities writing assignments you were proud of)? You must explain WHY.
Q5 What part of this book/the reading experience/philosophical discussions/related assignments did you struggle with most? Did you absolutely HATE any part of this unit?
