"I am sick when I do look at thee" -Shakespeare (Midsummer's Night Dream: Act 2, Scene 1)

@litwithemily As existentialism would say, many of us need to start taking advantage of what we have and live our lives to the fullest just as Phil did when he realized that he could do just about anything with his repeating days

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@litwithrahul I think by reliving his days, he finally understood what life should be about, and that he should take advantage of his gift. That’s what changed him. The fact that Rita was in his life did not change his perspective on life.

@brynnebriegs I’d travel to exotic locations and I’d go hiking, rafting and learn how to surf and scuba dive

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@brynnebriegs I agree with Brynne because the principle of existenalism is just existing

@literarylili18 @marissa_osofsky True, but this is the society in which he has grown up in. He’s dedicated his life to his religion, so if that’s what is important to him, he should be granted his wish. It is his own life after all, and we do see by his words that he is mature and understanding of the situation

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

If Adam wants to give his life up for his religion, I feel as though he should be granted what he wants. After all, this is his life, so who is another person to say and control his own life

@anna_litaccount By the way his mother acts in court, it seems like she is still attached to her son. I feel like she will disown him for her reputation in the society, but she will feel great remorse, for a mother’s relationship with a child is irreplaceable

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@namralit It’s odd how she comes off as slightly pessimistic in the beginning of the novel with her issues with her husband, but a hospital, which should be perceived as sad brings back her happy memories

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@LokrageMachine His few words show how straight up he is with people. He doesn’t see the point in hiding anything and worrying about what other might think.

@litwithlayton everyone’s working on their tweets really hard (and asking if they retweet this if it counts)... prom weekend bro!

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@litwithleena @VoroninDiana It brings up the question of who really has the authority and power to determine what is correct and what is not

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@litwithkale To this society, lack of remorse proves how he is not normal and a bad person and that seems to be enough to convict him

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@EshaanSoman Just like he was also wasn’t phased by his actions of killing the Arab man. His lack of emotions put others at risk

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

Once again, on page 51, M uncharacteristicly shows his feelings in relation to Marie when he says “I felt her legs wrapped around mine and I wanted her.” Maybe Marie is the one thing that will bring him to his sense

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

On page 50, Meursault hears Marie’s laugh and says “I really thought I was going to get married.” Once again, instead of staring his opinions, he just makes statements, but this maybe a sign of attraction to Marie, for he thinks this after seeing her happy

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

The author’s excessive use of simple sentences emphasizing minute tasks show how Meursault focuses on small, everyday actions, like combing his hair and eating, to avoid the bigger problems in his life.

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@catherinetherye There are a lot of references to nature and they have a correlation to how he feels or what situation he is in at the time. When he is relieved the air is “earthy” but when he is at his mother’s burial, the air is “inhumane and oppressive”

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@Megmad2018 @sameershah27 I agree with Megha, and I don’t think it shows that he is pretentious. I feel as it though it’s just a natural reaction to feel detached after his mother just died. He might also feel guilty for not being present in his mother’s life before her death, so this is his way of coping

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

@jillbooseLIT I feel like he does care about certain things. Little things in nature bring him happiness like the “smell of fresh earth” in chapter one. It seems as though he tries not to focus on larger issues at hand. Instead he rehears his mind to only focus on the minute details of life

[Stutee Lit 18 @stoodypatel]

The character’s apathy towards his mother’s death shows what kind of weak relationship he had with her
