Question

Why might have Meursault compared the jurors in his trial to a group of people on a streetcar?

Answer 1

Meursault compared the jurors in his trial to a group of people on a streetcar because people on a streetcar are complete strangers who are indifferent toward each other while they are along for the ride.

The correct answer in the last one.

People in a streetcar and people in a jury can be compared because they share a specific moment in life, but they are not related with each other nor they know anything about each other's life.

Answer 2

People on a streetcar are complete strangers who are indifferent toward each other while they are along for the ride.
