Cultural Journal.
On page 63, the fact that no one at the police station cared about Meursault’s case at first tells me that murder is a common crime. The only time I have heard an Arab speak was in a prison. This shows me how society view Arabs because the only time the Arabs have courage to speak or feel power is in prison. The Arabs feel like they have power in prison because when the Arab talks to Meursalut he is laughing and feels cocky.
“Near the casket was an Arab nurse in a white smock, with a brightly colored scarf on her head” (6)
The nurse is wearing a white smock and a brightly colored headscarf. Is this describing her wearing a burqa? In Arabic culture, women are supposed to wear a burqa to be “sexually modest”.
“I brushed against her breasts” (19)
Merusault is helping Marie onto a float and brushes against her breasts. He is being sneaky at first to get intimate with Marie. As their relationship goes on he is more aggressive about sex but now he is just making sure Marie wont refuse.
Raymond Sintés. Pg 28.
He is a pimp but calls himself a warehouse guard to try to cover up what he is doing to sound moral.
-When meursault is longing for women at the prison. He dosnt care if it is Marie, he just wants a woman.
