- 4296: The Stranger 3
- In The Stranger, Albert Camus portrays Meursault, the book's narrator and main character, as aloof, detached, and unemotional. He does not think much about events or their consequences, nor does he express much feeling in relationships or during emotional times.

He displays limited feelings for his girlfriend, Marie Cardona, and shows no remorse at all for killing an Arab.

While this behavior can be seen as a negative trait, there is a young woman who seems to want to have a relationship with Meursault and a neighbor who wants friendship. ...

Taking the place of dinosaurs were the mammals, which were universally small and inconspicuous at the start of the Paleogene interval but in many ways resembled modern mammals by the period s end.
