Time in The Stranger
The Stranger by Albert Camus was published in 1942 in its original French, and four years later, in English. With over ten million readers since its publication, it is one of the most recognized works of existential fiction, along with Sartre’s Nausea. The Stranger tells the story of Meursault, who his convicted and sentenced for a murder. Camus uses this character to demonstrate what he called “the absurd man,” someone who has recognized the absurdity of human existence and accepts this belief to the death. In today’s video we explore how the concept of time plays a significant roll in The Stranger, and how Camus used time as a tool to investigate the psychological workings of the antihero, Meursault.
