The Stranger Thesis

Thesis Statement:

By contrasting the motif of the sun and sky in part one with the same motif in part two, Camus shows that a change of environment changes the meaning of familiar aspects of one's life. Because he uses a symbol of nature to convey this idea, Camus further expresses that even the most constant things in life, such as nature, are not immune to a change of meaning amidst new surroundings.
