In Camus’ novel The Stranger are carried along Meursault’s journey of enlightenment
were we discover that he not the only stranger. We discover that to truly understand
the world one must do what is best to please themselves. It is only by
fulfilling one’s own satisfactions and believing in the best that life has to
offer that an individual can truly discover themselves and understand who they
are. Even those who think they understand themselves miss how we subject
ourselves to the demands of a confirmative society that can help us find joy but can also lower
us to the depths of depression and hell.
