Although I could see why Fiona would ignore Adam, I also see how she broke her most fundamental rule by endangering his welfare. She could have done something to help him or guide him but she went her instinct to ignore him. All in all hurting him. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

The recurring theme of Fiona finding positivity in pain reoccurs when she is able to rekindle her marriage with the newfound passion she garnered from her shortlived and tragic relationship with Adam. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Even though 18 is the legal age of being considered an adult, I still don't think it's enough to be considered independent. Adam wasn't mature enough to be independent and instead had to try and rely upon Fiona. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

I think Fiona technically did the right thing by pushing Adam away as she was emotionally compromised by him and therefore any of her successive actions wouldn't have been unbiased nor truly impartial. She correctly removed herself from the situation #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Adam's new found interest in the violin could be taken as some desperate attempt to live life but I see it as him indirectly saying that he still wants to live life to the fullest. He could have easily just spent time with loved ones but instead he's still working hard. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

I find it interesting how Fiona's own actions seem childish with regards to her husband (the lock) and then Adam seems to be quite intelligent and wise in general. His decision to refuse the transfusion seems stupid but I still think he's quite thoughtful and smart. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

I don't think Adam's transfusion will lead him to depression because he's smart enough to eventually realize how important it is for his life, even though he can't see it now. He's clearly more advanced than his age indicates and so i think he'll eventually learn #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Adam's dialogue with Fiona seems to indicate that he's competent enough to think things through but I feel like his mental conditioning with the JW's neutralizes his intelligence and so she was justified in her verdict. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

There are many instances of Meursault being described as a man of few words and I think this attribute should garner some reverence for Meursault because it basically says that he only speaks in meaningful ways as opposed to constantly blabbering about the unimportant #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Even in the midst of getting "scolded" by the magistrate with the crucifix, Meursault still demonstrates his heavy interest in sensory details and what's going on around him as he describes the flies and temperature of the room in accurate depiction. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

The fact Meursault loves his mother as much as anyone shows his impartiality for love and his idea of its redundancy but to the magistrate it just comes across as mentally disturbed for who doesn't love their mother more than others. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Meursault could not want the public to pity him because if they did, it would seem like the punishment would be unfair and that injustice had occurred. However, if they're mad then it's obvious that he's done something wrong correctly, and should therefore be punished #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Meursault's decision making process always boils down to either yes or no. He's very clear cut when it comes to finalizing a choice and doesn't take into account future effects. He focuses only on now and seems to have little regard for what will come as a result. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Love does not serve to further Meursault in anyway as he gets whatever he needs out of his relationship without it in the first place. To him love is pointless and therefore he doesn't love Marie back but it doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't appreciate her. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

The multiple shots that Meursault put into the Arab man don't seem to be an indication that he's crazy or anything but rather that he was just flustered in the moment and fired those shots on impulse to confirm the kill. The decision seems more logical than emotional. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Meursault might find fault with the police because of how much they follow the rules and laws, whereas meursault sees virtually everything beyond his basic survival and indulgence to be futile and worthless. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Meursault as well as the others in the Christian community seem to lack dedication in going to church. Meursault claims to hate sundays and the other people seem to be doing other things such as watching movies and going to sports games. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

Although the narrator is distanced from his mother, he is very observant when it comes to the people on the street, as well as the changing night sky. This demonstrates his interest in simple subjects and more practical matters. #laylit18

[Lokrage Srinivasan @LokrageMachine]

The narrator seems to be really bothered by the whiteness of the room. This may indicate the contrast of himself as the "black" in the purity of the white room. #laylit18
