The Stranger Journal #9 Final Thesis
Camus uses the little robot woman as a foil to Mersault to emphasize his ability to act on a whim by ignoring society's rules, while she is a controlled product of those rules. Through this, Camus emphasizes that one cannot have freedom of actions until society's rules are removed.

But should all rules really be removed? Isn't that also how he got in trouble. I think your sarcasm toward Marie is appropriate but could it take you in a different direction. Is she really a robotic because she follows rules or is there something else Camus is doing that makes her so shallow.
