Journal #1

Marie Cardona
She was a former typist in his office. He had a thing for her when she worked with him. He thought she had a thing for him also. But nothing happened because she left and they didn't have time to do anything about it. She is described as laughing a lot. I think Camus tries to reveal that life is meant to be enjoyed and have fun and shows that through Marie.

Raymond Sintes
He is Meursault's neighbor. They are "pals". His character is described as an angry person. If something wrong happens he is one that will want to get revenge and make that person feel terrible. He is the person that Meursault listens to because what he talks about is interesting. He wants to get revenge on his mistress. Camus tries to reveal a problem with human nature. Sintes isn't able to differentiate between right and wrong and Camus shows this through Sintes.

old Salamano
He is an old man that lives in Meursault's building. He is an angry old man and beats his dog frequently for doing wrong things. He and his dog look a lot alike. Their life is similar day to day. Their life isn't switched up and they follow a certain schedule. Camus is trying to show another problem with human nature. Humans take their problems out on others or animals that they care about because they can't handle it any other way.
