Camus expresses that a person's own emotions are meaningless to other people, but the physical aspects of life will give off different values and meanings to everybody.
Ciggrettes and coffee: Mersault greatly values these and make him feel relaxed.
"I drank the coffee. Then I felt like having a smoke" p8
"I was smoking Raymond's ciggrettes because i was out"p31
"By the time the coffee came, my head felt heavy and i smoked a lot."p52
Windows.
""We hadnt open the blinds, the day, already bright with the sun, had hit me like a slap in the face." 47
"There was some commotion behind the windows, theneverything quieted down again." p12
"I left the window open, anbd the summer night air over our brown bodies felt good." p35
beach
"With every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a piece of broken glass, my jaws tightened."p57
Maria
"Her hair were in her eyes and she turned towards me."p20
These quotes are just to try and put a puzzle together. I feel like I can somhow tie them together to make an improved thesis.
"You could make out the shape of her firm breasts, and her tan made her face look like a flower."p34 SIMILIE
"I felt my her legs wrapped around mine and i wanted her."p51
Sunday. Saturdays
"I would have had Saturdayand Sunday off anyway. Obviously, that still doesn't keep me from understanding my boss's point of view." p19
"Sunday was over [...] nothing had really changed." p24
meaningless
"But when i had to give up my studiesI learned that none of it really mattered."p41
"I explained to her that it didn't really matter and that if she wanted to, we could get married."p41
"I noticed that he had a habit of finishing everfything with "and heI'd even say" when really it didnt add anyhting to the meaning of his sentence."p50
