PHYSICAL ACTIONS, THE REASON OF HIS FEELINGS

While having the opportunity to recognize an innovative plot episode, such as the Arab’s murder, the book started to capture the audience in diverse motivating ways.
After Meursault killed the Arab, ignoring its purpose nor effect, he went directly to prison. As soon as he got in, a lawyer was asked to attend and defend this absurd case. The lawyer started interviewing him about his life, individuality, dealings and relations. Evidently, his mother’s death was going to be a relevant fact to discuss during this private life investigation. As it started, Meursault´s personality again reflected the bizarre expression he had before going to prison. Once more, “ he started out by saying that people were describing me as a taciturn and withdrawn person”, (P.66) said the lawyer to Meursault.
Meursault briefly reiterate, “I explained to him, however, that my nature was such that my physical needs often got the way of my feeling”(P.65). Here’s where we can comprehend that his tough and rude attitude during his mother’s funeral was caused since he was really tired and sleepy.
At this point, we should be aware that Meursault´s words considerably elucidate his own precedent events, such as the Arab’s murder.
This means that his physical daily actions directly influence his emotions, so... Would Meursault had physically killed the Arab because of certain emotions he was carrying within himself long time ago?
Maybe he does sense and heed about his own actions, but they are caused by his inner feelings. Sometimes people act in the way they act because something is bothering themselves since long time ago.
Yet, we don’t identify the cause of this murder, but with this individual’s terminology, we can get nearer to conclusions.
