Salamano and his dog are characters who have a love hate relationship. It seems that the old man and the dog are constantly have fights and are always mad at each other but when the dog goes missing we notice that the old man really does love the dog even though it seems all he did was yell at it. I think these characters are used to show the relationship between Meursault and his mother. It shows that they didn't really get along but still loved each other. His mom is like the dog in the way that Meursalt made all the decisions for her and she never said anything.
Marie is a woman who Meursault has feelings for she is used to show us that Meursault really does have feelings he just doesn't show them in the usual way or at all. She is the contrasting character to Meursault because she shows emotions and talks about what she is thinking with others. She is always showing her emotions unlike the main character.
Raymond is the neighbor of Meursault he is a guy that is kind of shady and has a bad reputation. He befriends the main character and leads him on his path to the "dark side". I think that he is a contrast to Meursault because he always shows his anger and rage unlike Meursault who is always passive and just goes along with what everyone else is doing never giving his true feelings.
