Monsieur Meursault Version of Judas

Abstract

Let Judas be constituted by Meursault (Camus' "Stranger") in dispositions / Let Judas' friend ask him to betray Christ and bear infamy on behalf of him who cannot be placated / Let Judas in his Meursault-ness tolerate absurdly too much not to disappoint his friend who is relentless in his pursuit and request. Meursault Version of Judas undergoes theatrical but loyal friendship. His words and his acts are the same. But his thoughts and his words are diametrically opposite. ------ Nietzsche's notion of Camel/Lion/Child metamorphoses constitutes a lens through which we can examine texts. Meursault is Camel emulating Child.
