Discussion

Charge: We all know that M. Meursault is guilty of killing a man on the beach. But this is not what this trial is all about. The charge we are concerned with is not murder but whether or not M. Meursault is evil.

As Defense Council, list 3 reasons (citing the chapter from the text) why you believe Meursault is not evil.
