"The Trial" Perspective "outsider.

Albert Camus is a famous French litterateur and philosopher in the twentieth Century. He inherited the tradition of French philosopher writers, focusing on modern people’s survival predicament to create works by virtue of his own passion, anxiety and pain. Camus came to the conclusion "absurdity" through preliminary analysis of life. His masterpiece The Stranger is the exact one that reveals the "absurdity" to the readers through the protagonist Meursault’s experience and emotions. However, those words like justice, judgment, punishment, death, evil and innocence in The Stranger actually suggested another theme of this novel-"the judge". This article attempts to clarify The Stranger from the perspective of "judge" to find another way to study the work. Five parts are included in the article:The introduction part mainly defines the implication of "judge" in this article and the particularity of Camus’thoughts on "judge". In addition, the present research situation of domestic and foreign academic circles on The Stranger in recent years is demonstrated in this part.The first chapter mainly analyzes the defendant Meursault. First of all, we would analyze the specific performance of Meursault combined with the detailed text of The Stranger. Secondly, through the demonstration of "absurdity" and "the absurd man" in Camus’The Myth of Sisyphus, we find a way to view on Meursault. Thirdly, examine Meursault with the "absurd" theory to reveal that he is "the absurd man" at the very beginning. It also cleared his "Stranger" figure:break the rational authority body, release the confusion and live beyond deterministic.The second chapter describes the absence of the accused Meursault in the courtroom. The absence of the defendant in the trial court was analyzed combined with the detailed text of The Stranger. It revealed the implicit "crippled man" image behind the absence of the defendant. Thus analyzed the underlying causes of the absence of the defendant-the dualism of body and soul in western traditional culture leads to the rejection and repression of rationality to human body. By omissions in the argument of the Prosecutor Office, the other reason of the absence of the defendant was analyzed-Camus was convinced that humanity is innocent and people have no right to judge human nature.The third chapter discusses Camus’defense of Meursault and retrial as the author. Combined with Camus’ personal experience, his implicit in the proof of intention in the The Stranger was explained. Meursault, being"the most unfairly treated", revealed the author’s defendant identity in the court of public opinion. By analyzing another work of Camus The Fall, the author expounded an "stranger" retrial:he is not innocent, thus revealing the author’s reflection on the defense identity in the past.The conclusion part summarizes the whole thesis, and reiterates the viewpoint of this paper.
