Shedding a tear for Mersault

Mersault in the stranger is quite an admirable man in  a sense, he's not tied down by any of the moral conventions we have and he's happy with the point his life is at. Yet we still seem to take pity on this man, especially after his harsh death sentence is dolled out I felt sad for him. His neutrality made me see the true bias of all humanity, especially in a system that's supposed to be as sterile as him like the justice system. Seeing his sterility treated with the death penalty is really disheartening to think that to function as a member of society you not only have to keep to yourself but conform to the standards set by others. Albiet this is offset a bit by Mersault's indifferent reaction to the sentencing, it's hard to pity a man who doesn't pity himself. But again Mersault isn't normal I haven't ever seen anyone in my normal life that has been as truly neutral as him. Meaning on a certain level I understand he has no emotions,  so I am not taking pity not only on his predicament but his emotional involvement he realizes he needs to be more emotionally involved but he cant change himself and this recognition of his so-called flaw. Gives Mersault a little bit of the wounded pit-bull aspect, yes he appears dangerous but he's got no bark condemning such a creature in my eyes is not an acceptable action yet the french justice system is at ease and pleased with themselves for removing Mersualt as a "threat".
