At the end of the novel, Meursault is able to understand the meaning of life. He was able to do so because he was approaching death, which is an existentialist principle, death is the one certainty of life. Before, when his mother died or when he killed the Arab, he did not have any feelings. When he thought about his own life and that he was about to die, he accepted it. He realizes that one can truly enjoy their lives when they approach and accept death. The understanding of this allowed Meursault to be at peace with himself. With this being said, this novel was an unusually good book, which made me think. A majority of the book made me feel like the rest of society, which was not accepting Meursault's behavior although analyzing gave me

Mr. Defarge said to Madame Defarge, “Extermination is a good doctrine, my wife, in general, I say nothing against it. But this doctor has suffered much…” (263). In this passage, Mr. Defarge was sacrificing his marriage by arguing that Dr. Manette has suffered much pain and does not deserve to be exterminated. This shows Mr. Defarge is trying to reason with Madame Defarge and he cares enough for Doctor to not hurt him any worse. Dr. Manette has had many struggles in his life which include him being imprisoned for 18 years, losing his wife, losing his job as a doctor, and having to be kept in secret most of his lifetime.

The doctrine of Primitivism, which declares people closer to nature as more noble and pure, can be used to analyze chapter 18 of The Scarlet Letter in a manner that paints a reborn Hester and Dimmesdale, being in the forest, as more noble and pure than that of their society of developed Puritans. Hester Prynne, being in the wilderness, throws off the stigmatic letter sewn upon her by her peers: “So speaking, she undid the clasp that fastened the scarlet letter, and, taking it from her bosom, threw it to a distance among the withered leaves”. The scarlet letter symbolizes her place in Puritan society, being an adulterer. The Puritans, being firm believers in predestination, never allowed Hester to truly flourish and live, and instead,

While the Westside gang developed from the criminal efforts of Mickey Spillane in the 1960s, they became the Westies under the leadership of James Coonan, who usurped the position immediately before Spillane’s murder in 1977.

The author showed the reader that Neely had to travel along a path and hit rock bottom in order to realize the underlying conflict that was making him miserable; he had to forgive, not give up on life. Through this quest he finally comes to realize his misery, “I knew I had to be here when he died, I had to say farewell, And I had to finally, and sincerely, accept his apology. I should have done it earlier” (Grisham 158). When one realizes the underlying conflict that is making one miserable, picks himself or herself up after hitting rock bottom, and works through pain and suffering, the quest ends. One realizes not to give up. The author supports this theme with Neely’s quest toward forgiveness to show what happens if one never gives up. One learns from his or her mistakes when he or she is in a different position. It took a man’s confession on his deathbed for Neely to finally let go. When the confessional letter is read, Neely can finally let go. He can forgive. I believe we should all take Neely’s actions as a symbol that we all should try to forgive and forget no matter how difficult it may

The chaplain comes to see Meursault against Meursault’s own wishes and the chaplain tells him that he should turn to God for comfort in his final days. Meursault does not believe in God and he tells this to the chaplain. The chaplain seems so sure about everything in life and about everything that will happen but to Meursault, the only certainty is that everybody dies. If it does not happen today, it will happen tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, then the day after. Life is indifferent to everybody and nothing in it is important unless the person makes it important.

If someone chooses to value love, then it is important to him or her and he or she should care about it. If someone chooses to believe in God, then He is only important to him or her and only he or she should care about Him.

The reason that he said that he probably does not love Marie and that it is not important, is because he does not have love as one of his values; therefore, he should not care about that emotion. Finally, the reason he did not show remorse for killing the Arab is because he did not feel that emotion. What Meursault does value is the truth. He
