The Arab
The Arab- There were a group of Arabs following Raymond in the book. Once on the beach, two attacked Raymond and Masson. Later Meursault killed one Arab.
How this affected the book:
When Meursault killed the Arab, he was later arrested. He was put in prison. He had to go to court. As an inference, when he was walking down the beach before killing the Arab, the sun was very hot. This seemed like it affected Meursault and so he accidentally killed the Arab.
