Camus Essay: The Inescapable State of Flux


     Individuals are constantly in a state of flux. These changes may be imperceptible to the naked eye at any given moment. However, these series of gradual changes amount to people evolving within their lives. In Albert Camus’ novel, The Stranger, Meursault, the novel’s narrator and protagonist, is in a state of detachment and indifference. This can partially be due to his belief that people’s lives remain relatively constant and his inability to escape the circle of life. Although ultimately every individual meets their death, the concept of improvement and change is necessary to living a fulfilling life.
