3rd Paragraph

A life without a purpose matches the emptiness of prison.  Prison works perfectly for Meursault.  He has no goals he needs to accomplish, and nothing that he enjoys doing outside of prison.  He is merely living his life, and waiting for the day he dies.

2nd Paragraph

Meursault contains no emotional feelings, but he does have physical desires.  He feels no love for her, but he does have a physical lust because of her beauty.  When Marie asked if they would eventually marry, Meursault responded "It didn't make any difference to me"(50).  Because Meursault can satisfy his physical desires with her already, marriage would not change anything.  Even though he says this, Marie stays with him.  She must feel attached which contrast with Meursault.

1st Paragraph

Most people care about their family at least a little bit.  Although there are some exceptions.  Meursault does not care about anyone or have any feelings about anyone including his mother.  At his own mother's funeral he was more bothered by the heat than her death.  (Quote). He didn't even remember her own age.  After the funeral, Meursault showed no emotions.  He fully realized that he would never see his mother agin, but his detachment from everyone caused him to not care.  The next day, life was back to normal.  Without any feelings of depression from the previous day's funeral, Meursault starts having an affair with a woman.
