When the director talked a lot to Meursault about his mother, Meursault felt that he does not want to hear anymore probably because reminding him of his mom was annoying him and this quote shows it “but I wasn’t really listening anymore” (Camus 5). In Meursault’s journey to Marengo, he dozes in the bus, Camus clarifies that it was from the gasoline smell in the ride but it should not be just the gasoline, probably dozed of from his mental and physical discomfort he is in after his mother’s death. This actually made him very sensitive, for example getting annoyed the sun or fainting because of a smell.

Even later on in the movie, we also see that Will is a chain smoker, violent, and has extreme trust issues. He doesn’t have any friends besides the ones he knows are loyal, and he pushes others away before they have a chance to leave him first. After a good amount of therapy sessions with a psychiatrist and friend, Sean Macdonald, by the end of the movie Will’s problem seem to be a lot more under-control than they were before.
