The Indifferent Eye: Meursault's Unsettling Detachment
"Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know." With these jarring words, we enter the mind of Meursault, a man whose emotional detachment both fascinates and disturbs us. His mother's death-an event that would devastate most people-registers in him as little more than an inconvenience requiring time off work. At the funeral, while others weep, Meursault notices only physical sensations: the oppressive heat, the caretaker's twitching eyes, the red earth falling on his mother's coffin. He declines to view her body, accepts coffee and cigarettes during the vigil, and feels only relief when it's over. What's unsettling isn't just his lack of grief but his acute awareness of sensory details-the glare of sunlight, the smell of hot leather in the bus-as if these physical experiences are more real to him than any emotional response. Is this honesty admirable or monstrous? The question lingers as we watch him return to Algiers, eager for sleep, ready to resume normal life as if nothing significant has happened.
