Not at all, the others a bit small though, I haven't found larger ones.
But you can identify the scene in the book easily so it shouldn't be a problem.

If you read it again, you may find that the 'message' actually is pretty bright. Mersault actually overcomes death by rebelling against it, by accepting it. He understand his moms desire to start on a fresh, he comes to terms with being a stranger in a world he can never fully understand, and only then finds it beautiful and not alienating

ITT: we post the thesis statement from our last essay.
Because Meursault does everything, which is asked of him by anyone without question or hesitation, he becomes a mirror of the society as a whole, showing the collective reflections of everyone’s wishes, allowing the entire society to see themselves in him. But because his mother had recently died, he killed a man on an impulse, and is now facing a possible death sentence; when they do see themselves in him, they realize their own mortality which can com at any time and will erase any and all evidence of their existence, so they respond by attempting to deny that their actions had any effect on him, which would falsify their realizations, but their failure to do so, which brings about Meursault’s death and the destruction of the mirror, is Camus saying that once knowing unbearable truth of mortality is achieved, people will destroy all evidence of it and roll back down to ignorance.

Why was everyone such a dick to Meursault?
There is finally a character i can really relate to, & they do there very best to put him in jail no matter what his friends say about him.
Why did they want him dead so badly when they were sorry he had to die once they had sentenced him to death?.
