The novels The Stranger and The House of the Spirits have distinctly different plots. The authors of the books use different styles and techniques to create their visions of a great story.In The Stranger by Albert Camus and The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, the characters, Meursault and Esteban Garcia, are socially distant from their companions with each other only through this flaw, apart from the difference in individual character. The authors constructed their characters in such a way as to incorporate an outcast into their novels. Albert Camus calls the character known as Mersault his only outlier, Mersault. the main character, is evidently distinguished as the outcast starting from Part 1, Chapter 1. Mersault, in The Stranger, is a difficult character to understand. Within the novel, Camus portrays Mersault as "absurd". The philosophy of absurdity is too complicated to explain. In a way, it can be described as not caring about anything in life because there is no reason or meaning in life being born, living and dying. It doesn't matter what happens as the end result is death. The fact that Camus used the theme of absurdity, Camus had made Mersault an amoral character continued to reflect on Camus' plot and technique. At the beginning of The Stranger, Camus sets his characters involved in the funeral trial of his mother, Maman. The moment of ordeal centers on Mersault's reactions towards his mother's death, foreshadowing Mersault's ongoing amoral trait with his mother obvious because "[he] didn't know... halfway through the document... ader of Maman's death . The death had no effect on Mersault, regardless of the fact that there was no or no intimate relationship between mother and child. Since there were no signs of bonding, Mersault turned into an absurd person. The distance of him and his mother and the death of Maman foreshadowed the death of the Arab and the death of Mersault. Mersault shows indifference to the universe with his relationship with Marie. Allende created a monster from a rape between Pancha and Esteban Trueba. Esteban Garcia then decided to avenge the Trueba family by raping Alba. In this way, it does not guarantee any intimate affiliation with any member of the Trueba family. Works CitedAllende, Isabel.
