Q1: Does it seem like Meursault actually do his best to avoid conflict with the Arabs? If so, why?
Q2: What about these dichotomies that Meursault creates (esp. shoot vs. not shoot) makes the second option the same as the first (like, what is the motivation?)
Q3: Why does the sun have so much affect on Meursault? Is the sun literally affecting him, or does it have a more symbolic meaning. If it's literal, why doesn't he just leave the beach. If symbolic, what does it stand for?
Q4: After he says "As far as I was concerned, the whole thing was over" (58), why does he proceed to watch the Arab for two hours and then get worked up about it.?
Q5: Meursault steps forward knowing 'the sun wouldn't get off of him' (59) so why does he do it?
