The Stranger to Courage

The next book we have just finished reading was called The Stranger by Albert Camus. As weird as this book was, it was the opposite of my big question.

In the novel, Maursalt goes to jail for killing an Arab. And before that, his mother passed away, but he didn't really feel any remorse. So, in a sense, Maursalt was just a non-sensitive character. His character was almost the opposite of my question. He did wrong while everyone else was right. He felt no remorse for his mother and her death, and he killed someone. To me, Maursalt is not a very strong and courageous person. So, in a way, he was the opposite of my question.
