transgressor because he doesn't seem to recognize that he's
transgressing, or that there are meaningful lines that one
would transgress. Beyond good and evil, where anything is
permitted. Sartre's nauseating freedom.
************* I'm going to have to disagree with that. Or at
least split hairs with the reference to beyond good and evil.
That does not describe either Meusault's or Ford's situation.
For that matter, it doesn't ring out to Sartre's nauseating
freedom, either.
