: The title itself is a theme. Meursault views others from a distance, as if he were a mere observer rather than a participant in the drama of life. This alienation is turned back on him during his trial. The court discusses him as if he were an object, arguing "the case as if it had nothing to do with me. My fate was being decided without anyone so much as asking my opinion". He is the ultimate outsider , condemned not for what he did, but for who he is .

It analyzes the protagonist, Meursault, not as a villain, but as a tragic hero who refuses to adhere to the societal constructs of meaning, religion, and morality. By examining the tripartite structure of the novel—the physical world, the act of murder, and the societal trial—this paper argues that Meursault’s condemnation is a result of his refusal to "play the game" of social conventions, culminating in his ultimate liberation through an embrace of the benign indifference of the universe.
“I had been right, I was still right, I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well have lived it another.” : The title itself is a theme
: This is the conflict between the human search for meaning and the "benign indifference of the universe". Meursault is "the stranger" because he refuses to play the social game—he won't lie about his feelings or perform grief just to satisfy societal norms.

He stops fighting for meaning and simply exists within the meaningless, finding a strange, solitary peace.
