Meursault the stranger5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() Meursault simply cannot see any reason not to if it pleases Raymond. For Raymond, Meursault agrees to write a break-up letter, because, he claims, there is no reason not to help him. In the next few days, he helps his friend and neighbor, Raymond Sintès, take revenge on a Moorish girlfriend suspected of infidelity. He later encounters, by chance, Marie, a former employee of his firm, and the two become re-acquainted and begin to have a sexual relationship. Rather than expressing his own feelings (either secretly to the reader or openly to the others characters) he only comments to the reader about the others at the funeral. At her wake, when asked if he wishes to view the body, he declines, and, instead, smokes a cigarette and drinks coffee with milk before the unseen body. He attends her funeral, yet expresses none of the emotions which are expected in such a circumstance. Part One begins with Meursault being notified of his mother's death. ![]()
