@RakeshSenthilv1 @biancles1234 I think it also has to do with the fact that he’s been sheltered his whole life in the JW community. Fiona was Adam’s only door to the rest of the world so when he leaves his religion, he feels he can only rely on her for guidance. It’s like imprinting
@biancles1234 Actually I think Adam never had meaning in Fiona but he did seek it from her when he lost his religion. But when she refuses him, he grows meaningless and takes his life. So idk if it’s the search McEwan is behind or the actual endpoint
Is Groundhog Day supposed to be a criticism of existentialism? I thought the whole point of exis. was like survival and basic needs of a human and everything Phil does is the unnecessary stuff. :L #laylit18
@IrisLitTweets Blue is meant to represent calm. But it also represents trust, loyalty, and faith which I find really ironic considering the whole circumstance of their marriage
@VoroninDiana I agree with Rakesh but it also reflects how Adam sees his life from an outsider’s perspective. Meaning he can’t decide anything for himself and just watch as events happen
@IrisLitTweets I don’t think it’s that Fiona can’t live without her partner. She just doesn’t want to. Also Jack isn’t doing most of the supplying in the relationship like Mark is with Matthew. F&J just have a dying marriage due to a lack of passion

Meursault in “The Stranger” is meant to be a stranger to society. But I think he’s also what people could have been if society didn’t interject with development
@GrantDong2 Well there’s also an argument that it goes to the defendant’s character. Sure one incident may seem isolated from another but there’s a lot you can learn about someone from their past deeds and apply it to the current problem
@janwei_ I think that’s because he sees death as the inevitable. Whether it comes because of murder or natural means, to him, as an existentialist, it’s not a crime for someone to die
@ashyang_ I think it’s interesting how a lot of people say that humans SHOULD be this or SHOULD be that. We’re just projecting our own moral standards onto others. Existentialism is the basis of existence. I think it’s an -ism ppl pursue for life in the bare minimum
@cnielsenLIT@catherinetherye Lack of emotion usually makes someone more rational. Meursault is like the foil to all the other characters because they’re impulsive and he’s not
