Albert Camus' writing style in The Stranger shows the theme of isolation. Camus uses very short, straight to the point sentences, using very simple vocabulary to convey his message. In The Stranger, Meursault will express a complete thought in one sentence, but the next sentence will be completely different from what he was talking about in the previous sentence. The diction, syntax, and organization of the novel help readers understand the theme of isolation and its purpose in the novel, which is how Meursault, through his isolation from everyone and society, realizes that he has the ability to choose what he wants. desires.The diction of the first part of The Stranger is very simple and easy to understand. For example, when he explains his day “at the office” (Camus 25), in chapter three, he says that his “boss [is] kind” (Camus 25). He could have explained his emotions with words like calm or friendly, however he wanted to show his emotions very quickly and in a way that was easy to understand. He chose words like “cute” to emphasize that he is a very simple person and is different from everyone else. Meursault lived a nonconformist life and didn't care much about what was happening around him. Even “on the day of [his] execution,” he wished the “large crowd of spectators…. [greeted him] with cries of hatred” (Camus 123), which is why he uses such simple words to explain his emotions. This is the moment he realizes that he has the power to choose what he wants to do. It can be said that it was Meursault's isolation from everyone and society that led him to come to this conclusion because he had the time to actually understand the absurd. However, the second half of The Stranger uses a much higher vocabulary as Meursault... middle of the paper... this is how Meursault, through his isolation from everyone and society, realizes that he has the ability to choose what want. Camus represented isolation through low-level vocabulary and short sentences in which each positioned itself and dragged the others into the void. Through the singular point of view of the narrator Meursault, Camus presents a philosophy devoid of bourgeois morality where condemnation and personal honesty become the basis of a happy and responsible life.
