Who is this guy? ( The Stranger)

Meursault...
I think that Meursault seems to be very detached from his surroundings and emotions. He doesn't seem to have a connection with the people around him on an emotional level. I think that Meursault would agree with Banach that "we are all alone" because he goes through everyday life almost like nothing matters. He has a careless mentality, he doesn't really care. Things don't really seem to have an effect on him " It occurred to me now that anyway one more Sunday was over, Maman was buried now, that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed." To me he finds life meaningless which I think is a pretty sad way to look at it. Which could explain his detachment. Life is partly about the connections we make with people and how we interact with them which gives it meaning. Therefore someone's initial reaction to when someone they know dies shouldn't be to just brush it off but to rather mourn. Meursault is lacking in the emotional department, he distracts himself from his feelings " It was pleasant; the coffee had warmed me up, and the smell of flowers on the night air was coming through the open door. I think I dozed off for a while" (before mother's vigil). This is not the type of reaction I would expect from someone whose mother just passed away. Which makes me think that he has no value for life and doesn't seem to care what happens.
Allowing him not to be present.
