Meursault does not recognize anyone other than himself. He truly subscribes to an objective view of others. They are either helpful to him or no and that's how he determines value. This is demonstrated through his view of the tediousness of visiting his mother and how he feels about his "friends" Celeste and Raymond. Because of this view, he cannot achieve a fulfilling identity according to Benjamin.
How else do Benjamin's theories apply to The Stranger? Where does Meursault get involved of relationships of domination?
