the stranger

"I said that people never change their lives, that in any case one life was as good as another and that I wasn't dissatisfied with mine here at all," (41).

This quote shows how Meursault doesn't make any effort to live life to the fullest. He states that he isn't "dissatisfied" to his lifestyle, but he can't make any conclusions because he still has many years to grow and experience life. He takes his life for granted and doesn't apprecitiate the time he lives without suffering. This passage is very important to Meursault's journey in the novel, because not only does this foreshadow Meursault's personal life journey but also foreshadows death.
