This course will provide an in-depth analysis of The Stranger to meet curriculum and exam criterions. We will start with a brief introduction to Camus, existentialism and absurdism. We will then focus on understanding Albert Camus’ philosophy, and how it is represented in The Stranger through key themes, literary devices and characterisation.
The student will then be guided through careful analysis of the works, including guided annotations which will help the student to not only pick up on literary devices employed, but the effects of the devices individually and in tandem. Next, we will focus on how Camus’s philosophical ideas are presented in the text, the various interpretations of the text and how it has been received by readers over time. We will analyse Camus' writing style and how the use of symbolism has influenced modern literature.
We will also pay special attention to literary analyses in written form, and as such the student will be guided and coached to be able to compose their own detailed literary analyses and written arguments. Focus will be given to key quotes, themes, motifs and literary devices throughout the text. By the end of this course, students will have a greater understanding of Camus' work and be able to apply their knowledge confidently to analyse and write about the work, while meeting curriculum criterions.
