Topic: Other character's assumptions of Meursault
"I suppose you would like to see your mother" (5)
"because I was a man [...] we'd be pals." (29)
"I could tell you knew these tings." (33)
"You're young, and it seems to me that the kind of life would appeal to you." (41)
"all men believed in God, even those who turn their back from him." (69)
"You understand these things. The res of them don't" (78)
"He asked me if I have the 'jitters'" (83)
To explain that I wanted things between us to be good" (66)
"I would have liked to have tried explaining to him cordially, almost affectionately, that I had never been able to true feel remorse for anything." (100)
"Evert man I have known in your position has turned to Him" (116)
"That evening Marie came by to see me and asked me if I wanted to marry her. I said it didn't make any difference to me and that we could if she wanted to." (41)
"'I accuse this man of burying his mother with crime in his heart!'" (96)
"I know that at one time or another you've wished for another life." (119)
"How can you not believe he suffered for you" (69)
"You do believe don't you , and you're going to place your trust in Him, aren't you" (69)
Thesis (terrible I know):
Through the false assumptions of Meursault by other characters, Camus shows how transcending from social norms causes conflict.
