While reading The Stranger I noticed that traits that Albert Camus character depicts in the book are closely related to the theories of Sigmund Freud on moral human behavior. Albert Camus portrays his character of Meursault as a numb, emotionless person that seems to mindlessly play out his role in society, acting in a manner that he sees as the way he’s supposed to act, always living in the moment with his instincts driving him, and if the right circumstance presents itself the primal deep seeded animal will come out. I believe that most of the character’s traits fall under Freud’s notion of the Id and Ego mental apparatus, and don’t believe that his idea of the super-ego is represented in this book.

“The Stranger” by Albert Camus follows the story of an apathetic and withdrawn man, Meursault, as he easily cruises through life with the belief that he is indifferent to the universe. The novel begins with Meursault receiving news that his mother had passed away. Immediately after traveling to the funeral, and not showing an ounce of emotion, Meursault engages in an unemotional relationship with a woman named Marie. His moral bankruptcy and emotionally detached demeanor stays constant throughout the majority of the novel, even after committing murder and being sentenced to death. In fact, as a consequence of his sentencing Meursault has an epiphany and realizes that the universe is irrational and therefore indifferent to human life. This theme

In the movie, “A stranger among us”, it is vivid that there are three ethnic groups that are represented.

The building of apprehension in viewers’ mind helps put them in the character’s shoes and truly captures their attention. In the “Pilot” episode of the television series Stranger Things, the writers create suspense by applying the two main elements of media: music and setting. The element of music is creatively used to establish the mystery present in the show. For instance, when Will is on his way to his house the audience does not fully see the slithering horror he encounters. Instead, an appalling, liquid chittering is heard from the deep woods (Brothers, 2016).The choice of sounds that the writers use helps trigger the audience's mind and keeps the viewer curious about what will happen to Will Byers, and who the noise is coming from.

This article discusses the TV show ‘Stranger Things’ by intertwining the idea of childhood freedom within it. The show portrays a bunch of kids biking around town unsupervised and solving mysteries and ‘saving’ the town. The author, Anna North, then uses this notion to discuss how nowadays the idea of unstructured childhood is almost nonexistent and that parents are involved in everything due to cell phones, fear of child molesters and a move towards more parental involvement. North also gives two other examples, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ and ‘Muppet Babies’, where the parents are absent and the kids got to run wild and involve themselves in mysterious/fun activities. This given freedom gave the children a chance to explore their own
