    Mersalut is the protagonist of The Stranger, the most famous novel by Albert Camus. In this book, Camus examines the character of a man (Mersault) who is apparently indifferent and amoral to those around him. The novel begins with the death of Mersault's mother; his lack of grief during the funeral is seen as a moral failing by those around him. Later, he will kill an Arab man seemingly for no reason, only because he had the sun in his eyes and was on the edge of a heatstroke. During the trial he does not show fear or regret; the possibility of dying leaves him unfazed. The only thing we see him value throughout the novel is the pleasure he receives from his girlfriend Marie. His values, if he has any, are purely hedonistic. He is not inmoral (he does not derive pleasure from evil acts) but rather morally indifferent.
