The Stranger Question
Toward the middle of the second part of the book, Muersault is placed in jail. There are many things that show a change in his behavior. One way that shows that Muersault has changed is when he states, “… offered me a cigarette, which I turned down” (Camus 82). This particular quote shows that by refusing a cigarette has shown some change in Muersault. So with that said, do you believe that an individual should be executed even when you see a change in him/her? Explain why or why not.

Meursault is a changed character by the end of the book; in the middle of the second part he shows this change in many ways. Some may say that, an individual's fate should change once they have changed. For example, Meursault's fate was decided when he killed the Arab sending him to his death. However, i do not believe that any change in Meursault should alter his fate of dying. Although Meursault changed, the crime he committed did not change. He should still have to face the same consequences for his faults.
