A Philosophy Student's Analysis of 'The Stranger' by Camus

Hi all :) I hope you enjoy this short video of my main takeaways from Camus' 'The Stranger', which I read very quickly in my university's library one afternoon. When I first started reading this novel, I went into it with no prior knowledge of the themes explored in the book, and I found it painfully boring and quite dull. But by the end, I realised that this was just a reflection the meaninglessness of life itself. This book was simultaneously the most profound, and also useless piece of literature I have ever picked up. I love literature that has to be properly analysed in order to appreciate its meaning. I love literature whose message lies beneath the surface instead of just jumping out at you in the form of a cliche story. If you do too, then you should give this book a read.
