Journal #2 The Stranger

       I think that using the sun as a symbol gives the feeling of laziness and being in a daze. This makes it seem like Meursault is just going along and not planning in going anywhere for any reason. I also think that it shows how a person who is hot and drained by the sun just goes along and in a daze this can be related to Meursault. The sun is also very present when Meursault murders at the beach it could show how the sun causes a person to become irrational and leads him to killing the man. The sun is a symbol used to show how a person can become disoriented and that leads them to doing bad things even when they are calm people.
