the motif of the sun:
"The office overlooks the sea, and we took a minute to watch the freighters in the harbor, which was ablaze with sunlight" Camus 25)- this use of sun helps interpret charicters feeling of pleasure and indicates visual awarness.
" We were out of breath; the truck was bumping around on the uneven cobblestones of the quay in a cloud of dust and sun".( cacmus 26) - the sun and the dust contrast eachother making it interesting, since the sun typically makes things clearer, and dust was making it difficult to see.
" The four o'clock sun wasn't too hot, but the water was warm, with slow, gently lapping waves'.(Camus 34) - there is consistant reference to wether and how it subtly plays on meursault's attitude. the setting and the tone of happyness int the sentence also seems to be consistant with water(or even going for a swim)
" The sun was shining almost directly overhead onto the sand, and the glare on the water was unbearable".(Camus 52) - this is a time when the sun is referenced as negitive, which is a bit offputing twards the reader or even the purpose of the motif.
The motif of Maman:
" His bed creaked. and from the perculiar little noise coming through the partition, i realized he was crying. for some reason i thought of Maman". (Camus 39) the author seems to bring up Maman whenever a sad emotion is meant to be experianced by the reader or even Meursault. almost like in order for him to feel emotin, he must first reference somthing back to his own experience with the emotion instead of creating it.
