Detailed explanation-1: -The Stranger is narrated by Meursault in first-person. The narration employs short, declarative sentences to describe everything Meursault observes. This results in a rather detached narrative voice as Meursault makes no effort to empathise with any of the other characters he encounters or observes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Point of view Meursault narrates in the first person and limits his account to his own thoughts and perceptions. His description of the other characters is entirely subjective-that is, he does not attempt to portray them in a neutral light or to understand their thoughts and feelings.
Detailed explanation-3: -Camus wrote The Stranger from a place of tragedy and suffering. His father had died in World War I, and the unfolding carnage of World War II forced a questioning of life and its meaning.
