Thesis Statement

Albert Camus creates a character who's motivation is based on physical desires through plot, character, and setting.  The motif of weather and how it affects the character Meursault's desires and mood, Meursault's motivation, being based on physical desires, and the characterization of Meursault because of this motif and motivation show that an enjoyable life can be based solely on physical desires.

  1. It will be hard to say something that other people have not already noticed. Physical pleasure was one of the things we listed at the start of the novel as banned. That said, if you can find a new way to talk about it, it may work. Plot, character, and setting are going to lend themselves to too much summary. You need to look closer at the text to find something arguable.

  2. Could I look at physical necessities, instead of desires? And I was going to look at the Motif of weather, Motivation and the characterization that comes from this motif and motivation.
