What a great book! It makes us realize how carelessly we impose our own moral stances to guilt people towards their indifference. Is Meursault really the problem, or are we creating our own problems for things we cannot tolerate? And though Camus was known for his Absurdist philosophy, you would find in the end Meursault's partial regret over his taking life for granted. There were things he failed to value all along, especially us who do not contrast our privelege with those who are imprisoned, and I believe this is the most important message of the book. As Camus stated, a freeman can experience in a day what an imprisoned man can experience in ten thousand years.
