Journal #8: Why does Camus create a part 1 and part 2?

Meursault goes to jail in part 2, which takes away his freedom. It's an entirely new perspective for him, and it changes his mindset. He reflects on his thoughts a lot more, and Camus creates a dynamic character. In part 1, Meursault lives physically, only reacting toward hunger, sleep, women and heat. I did not relate to the character at all. But Meursault gets more time to think about his life in part 2, after he kills a man and is sent to prison. It's kinda sick when he finds satisfaction in being questioned by authorities on a regular basis. "...I was almost surprised that I had ever enjoyed anything other than those rare moments when the judge would lead me to the door of his office, slap me on the shoulder, and say to me cordially, 'That's all for today, Monsieur Antichrist.' " (71) Meursault also changes in part 2 in that he gets a lot more attention, and responds with confusion and discomfort. It's another thing that he reflects on that, in part 1, he wouldn't have had much concern for. Camus creates two parts in order to portray the dynamic characterization of Meursault.
