The Stranger: the middle

As we read further in the book, we see how not even the intimacy with another person makes monsieur Meursault change. Since he moment he knew Marie, i started thinking that it would´ve been a good chance for him to start feeling and caring about other people, or things, but he sure didn´t. "She asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn´t mean anything but that I didn´t think so". Here we can see how Meursault rejects in an awful and cruel way, the feeling that Marie has for him. Here we see how Meursault doesnt care about anything or anyone in a very intense way. What I think about this event is that Meursault might start feeling but he doesnt want to because he fears that he might suffer. He prefers to keep a low profile with no expectations of anything or anyone. One thing that I realized in this part of the book is that Monsieur Meursault is proposed alot of things that could change his life drastically. One of them is the work in Paris that his boss offers to him. The other one is when Marie proposes to him for marriage. It a nice opportunity to start feeling and most important, living.
