Stranger #2

 Option 2:

I think Camus uses the first person point of view very well throughout the entire book. Although there is very little dialogue in the book, Camus is able to use Mersault to give great detail of the things around him. Most of the conversations that Mersault has with other characters don't end up being in dialogue but more as summary from Mersault's view. I think Camus did not use third person because it may have altered Mersault and would have made it difficult for us to understand what Mersault is thinking throughout the book. This could have effected the meaning of the story and mad it a little bit hard for the reader to understand what Camus is trying to show us. I think Camus's use of point of view is very relevant to the themes he portrays and the characters he uses throughout the story. If Camus would have used the third person we would not get as much detail about Mersault's life as we do when it is in first person.
