Meursalt is definitely an incredible caracter! Throughout these chapters we can see his regular life as well as his life mourning, because they are both exactly the same. I have never seen someone so detached in my whole life. Everytime his mother's death catched his thoughts he would reject it and ignore it. In chapter four he says "For some reason I thought of Maman. But I had to get up early the next morning." (page 39) this is the perfect quote to describe his attitude towards such a painful thing. Another thing that impressed me was how he reacted when Raymond told him about his mistress and how he had beaten her. He was so relaxed and recieved it as if it were something completely normal. How can this be? Is it because of the year when this book took place?

Your off to a good start; however, your not responding with sufficient analysis or response. Please refer to my blog for further instructions. Also, a chapter is long. There's alot to respond to. Finally, as mentioned on the rubric please write in paragraphs.

Nicole: I totally agree with you, and I am in shock as well as you are with this man who has the behaviour of a dead animal. I also find it quite disturbing that he doesn't react to the mistress being hit by his neighbor. Is he gay? Why doesn't he defend women? I know she cheated on Raymond but this does not allow any man to even think about touching a woman. I believe he could have gotten his revenge or this seeked satisfaction somewhere else. I believe you've responded well and I understand the way you are feeling by reading your blog. I will post mine in the evening.
