Sun

"When the sun got too hot, she dove off and i followed."(Camus 20) The sun pressures Meursault to make choices.

"The sun was shining [...] and the glare onto the water was unbearable" (Camus 52). This feeling of thinking and decisions diagrees with Meursault and he doesn't like it.

"I wanted [...] to escape the sun" (Camus 57). The sun makes Meursault fell emotion this feeling of need to escape.

"[...]his office was filled with sunlight barely softened by a flimsy curtain" (Camus 66). The discomfort the sun causes Meursault repersents the discomfort the situation cuases Meursault.

The Sky and Color change with it.

"I had the whole sky in my eye and it was blue and gold" (Camus 20). The sky really reflects Meursaults emotions that he is feeling with Marie.

"Soon after that, the sky grew dark [...]" (Camus 22). This also reflects Meursaults emotion and his dreaded feeling that he has to work tomorrow.

"Above the rooftops the sky had taken on a redish glow" (Camus 23). This again help reflects a mood change in Meursault when he see's the athletes being all cheerful.
