Existentialism tends to focus on the issue of human being existence - there is no purpose in the center of existence, in fact it does not feel anything. That term itself poses a theme: emphasis on the presence of specific individuals, and emphasis on subjectivity, personal freedom and choice. Because Sartre believes in God, the essence of human beings is not in the presence of human beings. For existentialists like Sartre, the absence of God makes more sense than metaphysics of creation.
In Albert 's novel "The Stranger", the hero Meursault was accused by society because of its existential nature. Merceda decided to live his life without a destination. He has no fateful nature, life. He can not find meaning in the standard answer, because that is the way it is. He decided to live his life in his own way. Choose your daily life and show indifference. As Meursault is indifferent, society considers him to be an outsider, a threat, and even a monster, but he decides to find meaning in small things, emotions, nature, emotions, and voice. Sartre and the coronation ceremony know that if there is no purpose in the world, you can choose to live for the purpose you want.
In strangers of Albert Camus, it is proved by the protagonist Meursault that coronation is ridiculous. The meaning of life In human experience, the meaning of things should not be questioned as the basis of the truthfulness as a person of Meursault. These personality traits indicate that Melso is the perfect example of existentialists. From the exact physical description of the event he touched of Meursault, from lack of emotion, and complete withdrawal from everything in his life, points out the features of the perfect existentialist. Even his view on life and death believes life is not worth living really. This is a direct depiction of existentialism. In the whole novel, Mersau is drawn as an absurd hero; this character does not want to have another fate, but accepts his judgment and there is no way to do this.
In "strangers", the hero Melso is a nihilist who believes life is meaningless. Meursault did not look for meaning, but it was separated from the people around him without minding his life, family or friends. The relationship between Meursault and Marie proves that Meursault does not care about other people or respects what happens in his life. For example, when Mary asked Meursault if she loved her, he replied, "That kind of question is not really meaningful, but I do not think I have it." It looked like Mary was annoyed, but Melso did not feel sympathy nor guilty because he was so ruthless to say it. At the latter stage of the novel, Mary asked if Merso married her and asked whether he married Mary or married another woman ("stranger", 45). Since Meursault's indifference to marriage comes from his idea that life is meaningless, there is no reason to cherish what happens.
