How does your own philosophy affect your reading?
I have noticed through reading The Stranger that I tend to get annoyed or bothered by characters who act completely opposite of me. Meursault tends to be very unfeeling or unopinionated towards many things. However, I am completely the opposite. I was very shocked when it didn't seem like he was sad at all about his mother's death and it really bothers me how his responses to everything seem to be something like, "I don't care". He does not seem to do anything because he wants to or because it is right in his opinion, but does everything either because he has to or for no reason at all.
