Journal 2

Describe Meursault's actions/activities. How do you respond to Meursault's activities? Why would Camus create a protagonist like Meursault - what is he trying to accomplish?
Meursault seemed like he was only doing everything involving his mother's death because he had to. He kept telling everyone it wasn't his fault and he kept saying that he felt guilty. I got the feeling that he didn't really care at all that his mother died. Maybe Camus created a protagonist like Meursault to show people how routine things have become. In the first two chapters, it seems as if Meursault does everything just out of a routine that he has to do.
