In Albert Camus' The Stranger, the soothing setting of the beach, a location where Meursault feels safe from society's judgment*, is used to symbolize freedom from societal expectations. Meursault's unorthodox actions at the beach illustrate how individuals require a catalyst in order to transcend societal norms.

In Albert Camus' The Stranger, the setting of the beach symbolizes a safe haven for Meursault to be free from societal expectations. Meursault's unorthodox actions at the beach illustrate how individuals require a catalyst in order to transcend societal norms.
