I said that people never change their lives, that in any case one life was as good as another and that I wasn't dissatisfied with mine here at all.
Although the perspective Camus presents in The Stranger is painfully male, I definitely found some validation and self-awareness in its oppressive atmosphere and robotic prose. Not a particularly enjoyable read, honestly, but it's encouraged me to research absurdism if nothing else.
Moderate: Murder, Physical abuse, and Domestic abuse
Minor: Death of parent and Forced institutionalization

Good exploration of Nietzschean consequences for what it means to value. Interesting elements of Roman law, too (arguments from absence as well as philosophy external to the courtroom).
Minor: Sexual content, Death of parent, and Grief
