Why are the plots of The Stranger and Metamorphosis so similar? Why do both main characters feel trapped? Why do they not see a way out of their problems? What’s the difference between Meursault and Gregor’s problems? Does Meursault imagine the future? Why does Gregor look forward to the future?
Why does being confined to a room enlighten Meursault and Gregor? How does it enlighten them? Does Meursault see the world from the inside looking out? Why does Gregor see the world looking at him through his cracked open door? Is Meursault as self-conscious as Gregor? Why does Meursault not care what people think about him, especially for putting his mom in a home?
Where would both characters be without the women who deeply care about them? Does Meursault actually care about Marie or does he use her for sex and sex only? Why is Gregors love and concern for his sister met with hate and rejection? Does everything change when someone looses their value? What becomes of someone like Meursult who does not have any value to begin with?
Does too much responsibility push people over the edge? How does Mersault not being able to provide for his mom shape him as a man? How does Gregor change when he loses the ability to provide for his family? Do expectations and pressure play a role in how both of these characters see the world?
