Professor keeps calling The Stranger an existentialist novel
It is, you fuck.
It literally isn't
Source: fucking Camus himself
The Stranger is just a racist novel. That's it.
>Shoot Arab for no reason except that you're a colonial oppressor
>Don't even give him a name
>lulz
>Get arrested
>Oh yeah mom died
>Oh well I killed a dumb Arab xDDDDDDD
Literally /pol/ the novel
When I finished The Stranger my only thought was "jesus i got memed hard, this book is total shit"
Most of what Veeky Forums or "intellectuals" like is total shit
Arabs deserve it, only marginally worse than T*rks
What did I just tell you?
Literally /pol/ the novel
Wow an author doesn't want to align himself with a label, stop the fucking presses
>caring about what an author think about his own work
Are you a creation of the american public school system?
It's not worth making a whole thread about it so I'll ask here: Would my enjoyment of The Stranger be increased by reading The Postman Always Rings Twice first?
I belive Mersault had a good reason to shoot the arab.
He didn't you brute, that's the whole point of the novella.
Had I known this webpage would be full of neanderthals like you, sir, then I would never have accepted a Veeky Forums golden pass
Every reason to shoot an Arab is a good reason.
>going the complete opposite direction and ignoring what an author says about their book
undergraduates gonna undergraduate
>reading this babby-tier lit in college xD
>"I felt a lot of empathy with Mersault, despite his despicable character. I was a "party boy" myself as a young man, drifting without direction, drinking too much, using reefer as they called ti back then, before I grew up." -George W. Bush
What did he mean by this?
So nice to see fellow redpillers on Veeky Forums.
Pepe approves!
>later kills literally billions of arabs
poetry
>Lame elitists gonna be insufferable faggots
this is not good shitposting
High art has moved to the realm of reality
It's essentially a critique of existentialism, so I guess in that way it's existentialist?
>someone states a fact
>when a fact starts hurting your feelings so you must deny it
Even if you're not a racist, that nigga did brandish a knife and was intent on fucking up Meursalt
>it's a One-Whine Greentext episode
