Stranger journal 2

Marie: I think she is in the novel to show that Mersault is more concerned with things that could physically please him rather than emotionally. She asks him to marry her and his response is it wouldn't make a difference to him whether it happened or not. He has already slept with her and they currently have all the physical connections you could have so he thinks have a legal bond between them would change nothing.

Raymond: These two seem to compliment each other nicely. Mersault has a passive attitude towards the idea of Raymond gertting revenge on his "girlfriend" so he writes the letter without any thought of the consequences. It seems that most people wouldn't want to hang out with Raymond because he is notoriously known as a pimp so Mersault is there to keep him company. The two never really truly connect with each other, they just talk about Raymond's plan and smoke his cigarettes
