Critic Roland Barthes has said, “Literature is the question minus the answer.” Considering Barthes’s observation, write an essay in which you analyze the central questions that The Stranger and Mrs. Dalloway share and the extent to which they offer any answers. Demonstrate and analyze how the authors’ treatment of these questions relate to the significance of the works overall. As always, avoid mere plot summary.
