Paper Summary:
This paper examines the similarities and differences in Camus'"The Stranger" and Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment", with specific reference to the murder that takes place in each book. Camus' murder is an examination of existentialism and an expression of the futility of believing that there is meaning in any act. Dostoevsky's murder is an expression of the senselessness of the ruling school of thought in the 19th century Russia. While each novel centers on a murder, they differ entirely as to the point and reason for each.
