Symbols, Symbolism, and Allusions in The Stranger (The Outsider)

Symbolism and Allusions in The Stranger

" That's all for today, Monsieur Antichrist." " Specking very quickly and

passionately, he told me that he believed in God, that it was his conviction

that no man was so guilty that God would not forgive him, but in order for that

to happened a man must repent and in so doing become like a child whose heart is

open and ready to embrace all". A. The people in this short quote is Monsieur as

the judge is talking to him. The judge don't think Monsieur believe in Jesus

because Monsieur is always talking about how he does not care about anything and

he rather just be in jail where he belongs. B. The quote that I think the author

is trying to carry out through the story is the second quote I wrote down,

because the author is saying that you need to repent and ask for forgiveness to

God. Monsieur lawyer keeps telling him about Jesus and telling Monsieur that he

needs to forget about the wrong things that he did in life and repent to God,

but Monsieur being big headed is not going to listen because he think what he

did is wrong and he should pay the price for what he did. C. The allusion that

Albert Camus is trying to get at, is that people believed in antichrist and

Albert is trying to say that if you do something wrong in life you can always

repent and ask God for forgiveness. V. Representative Passage on Tone and

Author's Philosophy " After a short time silence, he stood up and told me that

he wanted to help me, that I interested him, and that, with God's help, he would

do something for me." A. I think this passage tell us about the author

prospective because he is telling us that if you ask for help and if you want

the help it will happened. So what I am trying to say is that I if you are not

a Christian and you have a friend that believe in Jesus and if you don't believe

in Jesus you have to listen to your friend to understand what is going on so

you can accept Jesus.
