he insensitivity portrayed to the jury concerning his actions the day of and following the burial of Maman is true though irrelevant to the crime. Meursault's actions are easily twisted into a devious plan, creating a man with intentions of future action and past revenge, qualities that we know Meursault has never shown. Ironically, Meursault is condemned for being immoral and insensitive but he is indicted by evidence strictly to the contrary of the persona which is under fire.
