-"Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know."
-The significance that Meursault stated that his mother died with such little compassion is a concerning and interesting idea. Meursault is completely physically and emotionally detached from the world around him. He shows little to no emotion when he speaks. Most of his sentences are short and to the point, with little to no explanation of how certain things make him feel. These first two sentences set up the whole novel and set up Meursault's emotional indifference and detachment.
