In what sense does Meursault triumph at the end of The Stranger? (This was what Camus intended, but you're welcome to argue that, in fact, Meursault doesn't triumph at all.) Does Meursault overcome society's judgment, and thereby, its shackles? Or is it more important that he rebelled against conformity? And what's up with him wishing for a large crowd of hating spectators at his execution? Think about the protagonist's plight in Albert Camus's story "The Myth of Sisyphus"in terms of crime and punishment, and think about Meursault's situation in The Stranger. Discuss the absurdity of their situations. In what ways do Sisyphus and Meursault represent "absurd heroes"?
