In this review of The Stranger Patrick J. Moser belives that Camus portrays his philosophy that there is nothing after death in this novel. Life is only imortant in the present and if there is no importance then there is no point for life in general. Moser also implies that the book was written so that Camus could show his ecistential views fromthe point of his character Meursault. The author also says that Camus is not only show his view points but is also acting out his issues through Meursault. Camus's ideas and views of the absurd and fate are also present in this book. when Meursault killed the Arab it was not his choice Moser explains but in fact it was fate that lead Meursault to the murder of the Arab man. i do think that Camus did show his ideas of the absurd through Meursault and his disturbing view of fate and fate leading to the evil that Meursault ended up as. Through Meursault's change to complete evil and his emotionless nature Camus is able to show with some detail his views of the absurd and his feelings of human nature.
