Quotes to show how Meursault changed between the first and second parts
1. "There are some things I never like to talk about"(Camus, 72). This passage shows that He is starting to admit his feelings. Up until this point in the book he never even mentions the things he doesn't like to bring up.
2. " As I imagined the sound of the first waves under my feet, my body entering the water and the sense of relief it would give me, all of a sudden I would feel just how closed in I was by the walls if my cell" (Camus, 76). Meursault chooses to use more imagery than before, showing he's changing. It could also show that he had been taking everything for granted before.
3. "I would have waited for birds to fly by or clouds to mingle, just as here I waited to see my lawyer's ties[...]" (Camus, 77). Again with the more complex literary devices. He uses a simile to compare life in prision as living in a hollow stump.
