Reading The Stranger I noticed that the traits that Albert Camus' character describes in the book are closely linked to Sigmund Freud's theories on human moral behavior. Albert Camus portrays Meursault's character as a callous and emotionless person who seems to recklessly play his role in society, acting in a way that he sees as he should act, always living in the moment with his instincts guiding him, and if he presents the right circumstance, the deep-seeded primordial animal will come forth. I believe that most of the character's traits fall within Freud's notion of the mental apparatus of the id and ego, and I do not believe that his idea of ​​the superego is represented in this book. At the beginning of The Stranger Meursault was first shown as a callous and emotionless person, going through the motions of life simply guided by his instincts when he attended his mother's funeral. When he showed no emotion at the funeral, here his mother lies dead and he should be grieving, but instead the only thing he notices is how warm the room was where they were having the funeral. She had not even wanted to see his body before she was buried to say goodbye. This shows me that he has no moral connection to anyone or anything, and the only feelings he has are those given to him by primal instinct, of which are only necessary for survival such as being hungry, tired, hot and so on. Freud would say it describes what all human beings are like. According to James Strachey, Freud believes that the way we human beings behave during our lives is directly related to the Id, which is everything that is inherited from our ancestors and that is fixed in us at the mooring, and is the force caused by the need of our Id i.e. our instincts (14...... middle of the sheet ...... the Stranger.
