And Meursault physically attacked l'aumonier. p. 175/6 - 'Je l'avalis
pris par le collet de sa soutane. Je deversais sur lui tout le fond de
mon coeur avec des bondissments meles de joie et de colere'.
In order to die a happy death une mort heureuse (Camus earlier book):
with no propositional theoretians to boss us/me/him, inflict themselves
and consume him/me/us:
p. 179
Pour que tout soit consomme, pour que je me sente moins seul, il me
restait a' souhaiter qu'il a ait beacoup de spectateurs le jour de mon
execution et qu'ils m'acceuillent avec des cris de haine'.
