Intro

In Camus's "The Stranger", the author does more then write a novel. Seemingly so, he under develops characters characteristics, personalities, and movements. The main character Marsault has come off as someone who expressionless. Throughout the novel Marsault never opens up. He is a stand still, flat being who does not give the reader the excitement and yet is able to unravel the entire story through his descriptions and great detail. Camus's writing style allows him as the author to develop Marsault's character and give feeling, ironically enough, but still being able to use him as a main focus towards great detail because he ingeniously masks Marsault's rambling for narrative break down, giving the story great depth in short fragmented style. ( unique style, reader outside his comfort zone)
