Reading "The Outsider" has a feeling of 1. As untitled said, I will always be a stranger in this world. I don't understand its language, and it doesn't understand my silence. We exchanged only a little contempt, just like meeting in the mirror. The absurd noumenon of the world-an outsider.
Albert camus, a famous French philosopher and writer, won the Nobel Prize in Literature. I wonder if the author himself is similar to Musso. The author tells us through his works that as a person living in the world, he can only say "I don't understand" to the world. The first half of the story is a trial narrative of a big running account. Musso's mother died, but he didn't cry. At the beginning of the novel, he said, "Today, my mother left. Yesterday, I don't know. " At that moment, I entered the territory.
There are different opinions about Merso's behavior. Some people say that he is morally corrupt, devoid of humanity and irresponsible; Some people say that he is mentally unsound; But some people say that he is a fighter against the world. As for me, Merso did not consciously isolate himself from the world like some hermits in ancient China. He has a high consciousness. He is not withdrawn. He has some friends, his own life circle, and a good relationship with his neighbors and colleagues. He is indifferent to the difference between himself and public values. This seemingly deviant person is actually just an ordinary person. He has a sound mind. He is really selfish, but he is by no means heinous. He just acts according to his heart and feelings. I have a feeling of deja vu for him, as if I bumped into my childhood self, and I also have a feeling of envy. The protagonist in The Legend of 1900 once said, "I have passed through this world since I was born." From beginning to end, Musso lived outside the normal society, just like an outsider. His fate once again shows us a truth-when the individual is different from the public, the struggle is powerless after all, the minority is subordinate to the majority, and moral norms are established with the interests and recognition of the majority. I once doubted what kind of values were right, maybe there was no right or wrong at all. Finally, people can get used to everything.
By shaping the image of Musso, the author shows us an embarrassing living situation: the confrontation between individuals and society, the conflict between ideals and reality, which urges us to think about how people should live. In this respect, it can be said that outsiders have universal significance.
Truth is on his side, but unfortunate fate has chosen him. In the abyss of future death, the humble soul is crying. He is out of breath and is still holding on to his heart. Perhaps, after hollowing out worldly desires and washing away worldly pains, we will open our hearts to this indifferent world for the first time in the face of this starry night inspired by generate.
Happiness comes from this. Merso did not convert to any hypocritical forces. Even if it is meaningless, he should face the reality bravely and truly, which is similar to the "facing a bleak life" proposed by Mr. Lu Xun. The important thing is not to cure, but to live with the disease. In the dead of winter, I finally know that I have an invincible summer.
When I face my dream and reality, I love the former but I don't know whether to choose or not. Maybe I will avoid choosing. Some people say that everything has a destiny, but I know: my life is up to me! Even if the people closest to you think you are ridiculous, you still have to stick to yourself. This is the best reason to exist and live. Besides, I know someone who has always stood by me and supported me, my mother. In another world, you and I are both outsiders. Just as he disguised himself as a criminal and accepted the cries of hatred from everyone, it was like hypocrisy endlessly mocking the truth. ......
Just like in "The Outsider", he said before the execution: "In the face of this starry sky dissatisfied with the truth, I opened my heart for the first time and accepted the gentleness and indifference of the world. I feel that the world is so much like me. In short, I think I was very happy before and I am still happy now. "
In the light, the world will always be our first and last love.
Thoughts on reading The Outsider 2. The defendant in this story should be Master Merso. It is often said that it should be, because although all short stories are closely related to an accidental murder case of this ordinary employee, Merso is an outsider like the title of this book.
The content of this story is actually not very difficult, or it is a short story about an ordinary employee who committed a murder in his ordinary life and was finally sentenced to death. The main pole is single, and there is no special branch story. The author Camus described this simple story in only 50,000 to 60,000 words and completed this outstanding work.
When I first read this book, I felt suspicious. Because Musso didn't actually make any unforgivable mistakes, in fact, his case was at best manslaughter. This is not outrageous. It can be said that no one is more pathetic than him. I am surprised that these honest judges, criminal defense lawyers, juries and prosecutors have committed the crime of betraying the social development of a few people in the crown of Mercer, and then they were sentenced to death in the name of France. Yes, they used such a great and unreasonable name. The second time I watched it, I felt funny. I don't know the actual steps of a judicial decision, but I believe it is definitely not like a middle-aged woman who gossips and exerts her endless imagination, and then resolutely releases her subjective thoughts on an ordinary employee who is only indifferent and calm.
They didn't care about Merso's intentions from the beginning.
You'd better not talk. Merso was so exhorted. He once said to himself: Who is the appellee now? First of all, I have something to say. I was even replaced by someone else. He is too emotional. From beginning to end, he was like this, leaving me aside. I can't ask all the progress. They decided my fate without consulting me.
The defendant, He, was an out-and-out outsider from beginning to end! What could be funnier than this? They discussed, they imagined, they argued, they evaluated, they ruled, and finally he was executed. There was almost no Musso among them, but the result was borne by Musso. Thought of here, I just understand, I came to another kind of more patient and horrible cold besides funny, which is a kind of sadness.
Merso is like being trapped in a game. He has something to do with this game, but he has nothing to do with it. The bureau decided the fate of Musso, but he knew nothing. Every composition in this game is extreme, and every composition will live from its own perspective. They look at everything from their own point of view, and their subjective thoughts are released in all living and non-living things. Like the priest who was entangled with Musso the other day, he felt that Musso could see his kind father on stones and everything, but he couldn't believe that Christ's Musso couldn't see Jesus' face on the diamond in his cell.
Musso is an atypical figure. He basically lacks everything that people generally think should be a person. To put it mildly, he is an easy-going, gentle, talkative, indifferent, quiet and true person. To put it mildly, he is indifferent, introverted, ignorant of the world, ignorant of rules, lazy in work style, and a degenerate person; He is a man with no heart, no ambition, no spirit of struggle, no enthusiasm, no brain and no future. He is warm-hearted, fleshy, lazy, mediocre and confused. Generally speaking, he is a person who has no viability in modern society.
But the author gave Musso much praise: he didn't play tricks. In fact, he is an outsider in the world he lives in. He refused to lie, but he told the truth. He refused to disguise his feelings, so social development felt threatened. He is a poor man, a man who treats others sincerely and loves fairness, and a man who agrees to die for true knowledge without any heroic personal behavior.
He is not indifferent to many things, such as the death of his mother. From the content of the article, we can inadvertently see his love for his mother. That is by no means less than others, it is shallow. All his reactions were due to his openness, and he saw many things that others could not see. Stand outside as an outsider.
So close to death, my mother will definitely get rid of it, so she is ready to go through it again in advance. Everyone, everyone has no right to cry for her. Merso has this feeling. He is not indifferent to his mother's death. On the other hand, he is a person who really stands from his mother's point of view. When a family member dies, it is seldom true to cry for the deceased. It is unacceptable for a person who knows the key to leave, to live an unaccustomed life without anyone, and to fear death. If you look at it this way, perhaps Musso is not only an inhuman person, on the other hand, he must be clearer and more considerate than the average person. It's good for his mother that he stands from another person's point of view. He doesn't need to be sad.
