The Stranger

What are the main Values that drive Meursault's perspectives and what different view of relationships emerges here. What do these values and views say about "forced optimism" conventions surrounding sex, love and marriage?

Meursault and Maria's relationship is unconventional, largley because Meursault refuses to take steps- such as saying he "loves" Marie. In fact, Meursault challanges traditional and conventional ideas about love, marriage, and the romantic roles of men and women

Camus felt, like other existentialists that the world is absurd, in the sense that no ultimate explanation can be given for why it is the way it is. Meursault hence can't find deep meaning in any of the institutions conventional society finds "meaningful". This detachment is relevant to the institutions which you mentioned above.

Sorry. It repeats many times.
