The Little Stranger Analysis

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.

In this quote she is comparing the mundane and trivial, to a tragedy very few people face.This demonstrates that she is unstable because she doesn’t know where the severity of her situation lies. Her use of the words “... barely knew nearly accidentally...”so close together shows that she’s hesitant to move on from the mundane, and accept the fact that she was almost killed. As she struggles to understand what happened to her, she over and under exaggerates to get her truth across. After describing the accident she says “The five days they didn’t know if they could save my leg or not I stretched to ten”. She exaggerates and changes the details of what happened to her because she wants to cope with the trauma she’s experienced by garnering the sympathy that comes with the higher number. because it happened to her she has to exaggerate the anguish she felt because even though five days is a very long time to be uncertain about a leg staying attached but when

Our neighbour choked with pride and went on: "Nathan's battering averich three hunnert tventy-sevened!"

Freedom can be expressed in many ways, whether it be from the individual or from the community. One can express freedom from escaping their own barriers from their life. This can make someone’s life more easy to live because they can freely express their ideas and thoughts without being ridiculed. Other people may express freedom from being accepted in society. In Ambrose Flack’s short story, “The Strangers that Came to Town”, he shows that true freedom is about being accepted. Flack uses characterization of Mr. Duvitch as a catalyst to show that true freedom is about being accepted. Mr. Duvitch wasn’t accepted for the beginning of the story which creates a poor image of himself in his community.

Once Mr. Duvitch was accepted and free, the whole community finally understood who he really is. Mr. Duvitch’s true personality shined through because he was comfortable within his community.
