A Harmonious Echo
You've aligned Camus's philosophical exploration of rebellion in 'El hombre rebelde' with the stark existential simplicity of Meursault's world in 'El extranjero,' recognizing that both works, despite their genre difference, resonate with a profound, almost ascetic, stripping away of conventional meaning. Your 4/5 rating for 'El extranjero' hints at your engagement with its unique narrative voice, while the 3/5 for 'El hombre rebelde' suggests a more intellectual, perhaps more challenging, engagement with its demanding thesis. Together, they form a powerful echo of Camus's overarching concern with individual freedom and the absurd, demonstrating how fiction can embody the very philosophical questions laid bare in his essays.
