Please argue on Meursalt's behalf and convince the reader of his ideology.

In ' novel
, Meursalt is an abusd hero who loves life, hates death, and scorns the
gods.  Camus' and Meursalt's ideology and philosophy are the same: the universe is absurd, and
man must accept its meaninglessness accordingly.  Rather than be determined from outside forces
(religion, the institution of marriage and other social and familial expectations), man must be
determined from within (by freedom and choice).  Similar to existentialism, Camus' absurdism
simply urges men to choose life and beauty instead of death and decay.  Most men, Camus says in
the novel and others essays, consciously choose death instead.
