[Meursault]

well, i suppose it barely qualifies as 'irony' in any true sense, so there's not much to get. one would expect me to perhaps know the book inside-out and have some psychological sense of affiliation with the character, but as i recall my interpretation of the book differed from everyone elses', so even if i thought i was in character you might not. not too sure there's any standard interpretation anyway. i might easily have chosen a name from someone whose character truly matched mine, but that'd just make things too easy ;
and what thought prompted a choice of quintus over marcus...?
i considered archimedes too, because of his death, but decided not to sully his name. don't mind sullying a fictional character so much tho....
