Raymond Raymond is a character in the novel, “The Stranger”, who is known to be a pimp. Raymond is a friend of Meursault. The purpose that Raymond serves in the story is that he is a foil to the character of Meursault. While Meursault tends to react to situations in the story in a passive way, Raymond on the other hand reacts through action. Usually when Raymond takes action, he does it out of anger making him a symbol of chaos. Raymond suspects that his mistress has been cheating on him and asks Meursault to write a letter, “ one with a punch and also some things in it to make her sorry for what she’s”. Raymond’s anger blinds him from acting rationally as he suspects that his mistress is cheating on him and he constantly beats her down.
