“Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know.”
Since these opening words are spoken by Meursault, the protagonist, insight into his mindset and attitude are evident. More over, they reveal Meursault’s emotional indifference. This is evident because Meursault does not express any remorse for his mother. In fact he narrates his emotions as mere matter of fact. Furthermore, instead of worrying about his mother’s death, he is more concerned with what his boss will think of taking time off.
