Thank you! More audiobooks and stories over at secondary channel @jbenarration

I got: even by acting as pure as his convictions, he ends up upsetting every one involved. Cop, Arab family, and arab, by guilting him into turning himself in by treating him so humanely

Yes. That’s how I take it

​@rwed13 I guess the moral of the story is by not holding your convictions and trying to avoid responsibility. You make enemies with everyone. In trying to pass off the moral judgment he created the worst of both worlds.

If I understood the end correctly: the prisoner- despite being given the chance to walk away free- decide to hand himself over, while- on his return to the school- the teacher found message left by the prisoner's brothers/friends? Conclusion: None of them survives? :(

Not quite, one is described as "the Arab prisoner" & the other is "Daru", the French (or at least a European) teacher. (Note: Algeria was colonised by France between 1830 and 1962 and this book takes place just before Algeria's war of independence started in 1954) ...the person (mistakingly) described by Camus as the "Arab" is probably a Berber but that's how the French described most Algerians if they spoke an Algerian kind of Arabic language as opposed to the "Kabyle" language which is the local berber language. Camus may have been awarded the Nobel price but such a simple notion of race/ language and more importantly respect for the indigenous population is aleatory. He never took the time to look bellow the cover and realise that Algeria (as most of North Africa) is populated by Berbers who were converted by the Islamic conquest 14 centuries ago to speaking a kind of Arabic language that developed into today's language (Darija Arabic). In my book, speaking Arabic does not turn you into an Arab, as much a speaking English does not turn you into an English person (Americans, Australians, New-Zealanders, Indians and the rest of the english speaking world included.)

@@kammak2922 Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I used to read Camus's writings and I have learned a bit of Algeria. Now I love everything about Algeria's history, people, and music ect. Love from a Korean.❤

Algeria's settler colonizers, the french, of which Camus was a descended. That's the reason his voice towards Arabs is distant and at times condiscending. There are white Arabs and Black arabs or whom are the marjority. The school master was white.

Whiny young Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill, or celebrated-award-winning-mature-voice-actor Mark Hamill?? 😁
