France is full of arabs, niggers and mixed breeds.

It's not white.

He didnt get executed for killing an Arab he got executed because he didnt cry at his mother's funeral

No he got executed for being autistic

this book was written in 1942 and it's set in Algeria

What am I supposed to get from this book? Literally got nothing.

It's all metaphors. The execution is not literal, it is social and spiritual

people don't care about logic and will just victimize you based on their own personal biases

what does the shooting represent then

is the ultimate irony then that the main character died because he killed an Arab? The Arab being a victim to the French man's biases?

he's mentioned as an Arab in the book

never thought about it that much desu but it makes sense, just had a look at the afterword and apparently frenchie gets killed because he refuses to lie when asked if he regrets killing arab and he's meant to represent "the christ we deserve" so I think the point is people in mass describe lying as bad but if you refuse to lie you'll be condemned

Within Camus' writings and thinking the most prominent theme and subject he writes about is absurdity - the confrontation between man and the world. In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus distinguishes multiple ways in which the absurd can show itself to us; a couple of which being the denseness of the world, man situating itself in time, death, and other men, for 'men secrete the inhuman'.

The way I see the killing of the arab is as an absurd action; completely devoid of rational thinking, an act of a moment in which Meursalt was overwhelmed by the intense heat of the sun, its light, and some alcohol he drank before. His act was a secretion of the absurd.

The way in which Camus brings forth a solution to the absurd confrontation of man and the world in The Myth, is completely in line with the way Meursault solves his own absurdity - to rebel. He is conscious of his own metaphysical situation, and decides to look it in the eye, not shy away from it, and accept his fate completely. He becomes the absurd hero, much like Sisyphus.

Totally, back in the day people just killed others left and right and didn't give a shit, because morals and laws n shieet were invented by hippies in 1969, amirite?

I thought Yea Forums wasn't plagued with retards

Why even comment if you haven't read the book

Yeah but i dont think the colonial goverment hold a french colonial over an arab

it feels weird living in the same places that were so vividly described in this book and see how much they've changed.
Nice book but as always, fuck France.

There has been an influx of zoomer /pol/fags who larp reading books

I've read this book twice and I didn't get anything out of it either time. Some of the prose was nice, though.

That’s what I said

If you read the book it's obvious they don't just sentence him to death because of murder. It's because of his refusal to repent for it, his lack of emotion when his mother died and his general attitude. Of he just said "whoops sorry guess I was a bad boy" he would definitely not have been sentenced to death and maybe even got a light sentence, but he refuses to do that because he doesn't understand it. The prosecutor/judges/jury see him as a weird and dangerous person, almost not human. He is not sorry for murder, he puts his mother in a carehouse and doesn't cry at her funeral, and most of all he can't see what's wrong with his actions.

Moral of the story:Autism kills

Even worse is the Retarddit fuckups like yourself who keep trying to larp as somehow not-normie. You Retarddit/4cuck faggots killed the internet, and I can't wait till 4cuck goes down like 8cuck did.

Gay sex.

I thought he killed an Algerian? Technically speaking, Algerians aren't Arabs. Also, I don't think Levantines are technically Arab either. The only real Arabs are in the Gulf region, like Saudis, Emiratis, Omanis, or whatever. Most of them tend to be rich as fuck and very degenerate. You couldn't get away with killing them either.

You didn't read the book.

The Stranger's protagonist reminds me of Bartebly.

>Most of them tend to be rich as fuck and very degenerate.
Yes. Most of them tend to be rich as fuck. The absolute state of Yea Forums. Just repeat a stereotype from Hollywood and /pol/.

This race fixation of americans is really disgusting. Everything has to be made around race, and even then you only make the most superficial observations. Yes, he killed an arab, but this was because Camus lived a long time in northern africa. Even then it's certainly not a book portraing arabs as good or bad, the most shady character is his pimp neighbor who got him into this mess. Can't you read a single book without talking about race race race?

that was literally the point, they never would have prosecuted him for that but he was so callous about his mother's death that he disturbs their sense of morality. It's fucking explained in the book.

Americans are fucked in the head.

Saudis, Emiratis, Kuwaitis, and a few other Gulf Arabs tend to be degenerate and rich as fuck, yes.

Every rich person is usually a degenerate, not only Arabs.

Yeah please take a look at the gini coefficient of Saudi Arabia mate. Some are super rich and degenerate, the rest is as average or poor as everywhere else.

I personally don't believe it. Gulf Arabs are lazy, fat, and stupid. They are, however, highly nepotistic, much like Jews. They throw free money to each other like it's nothing. The same applies to Dubai, which actually enslaves Indonesians and gives free money to ethnic Gulf Arabs. This is one race of people that does not deserve to exist. Diplomats frequently come to the West, abduct women, and flee with diplomatic amnesty. This is one race of people that are being protected by upper echelon of Westerners, largely due to investments, and they tend to be very macabre and vulgar.
The Gulf Arabs join in on the orgies, but their fetishes tend to revolve more around shitting on the faces of White women, preferable Instagram whores. They also take interest in gorey stuff, hence why the creators of How to Train your Dragon were financed by one autistic & sadistic Saudi to make gorey porn of Astrid.
Being tolerant towards Gulf Arabs or Jews will make the West vulnerable and easy to exploit. You should finance anti-Muslim Levantines, non-Islamic Iranians, and nuke Mecca.

>abduct women
abduct and rape women*
