6 insightful questions about The Stranger-hopefully I don't need to speculate about answers.
1. Why does Meursault think so much about marriage in chapter 6, but seems not to care when other men objectify Marie and make comments about her body?
2. Why doesn't Meursault describe the Arabs, yet he describes Masson in detail?
3. Why isn't the color red used to describe the large amount of blood, yet is used to describe many other things that are not conventionally red? (like the sun and rocks)
4. Why does Camus make the Arab only able to play three notes on his flute? Do they represent something else?
5. Why is Meursault's forehead burning in chapter 6 and also when his mother was buried? What does that signify?
6. Why is the alliteration of the "s" sound used on the last page of the chapter? Is that Camus, or is it Ward's translation? Does it matter? Is it supposed to be there?
