The Stranger- Response #3

Everyone is here; everybody exist, but there is no reason as to why. this existential view is brought up in the novel The Stranger by Albert Camus. Throughout the novel Camus is explaining his view through the existential character M.M.. Toward the end of the novel M.M. begins to show his feelings toward this thought. He feels as though we have no purpose in life and no meaning in general, just to live and die. I believe he feels this way because he loses his old life and begins to miss it, driving him to be a more extreme existentialist. As the end comes near for M.M. he only realizes that life will just end short for him, and that he is finally leaving a world where his views were frowned upon. This goes back to the quote by the nurse as followed.  "She said, "If you go slowly, you risk getting sunstroke. But if you go too fast, you work up a sweat and then catch a chill inside the church." She was right. There was no way out." Instead of going slow and getting a sunstroke, M.M. is ending life quickly, he will soon be chilled. In this case, a "chilling" is a relief for M.M. because through the whole novel he experiences hot weather which in turn distorts his judgement. But all the same the end of then novel brings both stress and relief to M.M. as while he realizes and accepts his death.
