LAW AND PUNISHMENT IN ALBERT CAMUS’ “THE STRANGER”

  • Raul Rodrigues Kühl Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the trial of the character Meusault in Albert Camus’ “The Stranger”, to comprehend how law and punishment are presented in this work, using the historiographical category of modernity’s law mythologies from Paolo Grossi. Through a critical-reflexive approach of the work, I dealt with bibliographical sources about the theme. As results, I found that the character’s posture towards his trial represents a critic not only to the right of punishment, but to the political ideas from modernity.
