The Outcasts: The Stranger and Notes from Underground In The Stranger by Albert Camus and Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, we can see that the main characters in both novellas are outcasts; however, they are outcasts in different ways. In The Stranger, Monsieur Meursault is an outcast because he is indifferent to people’s feelings and to what happens in the world. In Notes from Underground, the unnamed narrator is an outcast because he has difficulty communicating with people. Unlike Monsieur Meursault, the narrator of Dostoyevsky’s novel is not indifferent to people or the world because he wants to be accepted and loved; whereas Monsieur Meursault does not care about what others think about him and he is unable to show any emotion.

The speech of the men when they are playing poker is very sharp and direct, but almost joking too. Stanley in particular uses lots of exclamatives when he’s talking. This could be seen as asserting his authority with his pack, making sure he’s still alpha. He uses imperatives with Mitch and by so doing he shows his influence and his view of being better than the other poker players; the same could be said of Stanley's insults, making Mitch out to be mummy’s boy. When Mitch first sees Blanche the stage directions are he simply ‘stares at her’ this shows he has never seen anyone like her before and is shocked to see her in the surroundings she's in.
