 Meursault is very intravtered. I believe since his mother passed away he has become. Rey passive. When emotions are drained, sometimes it's best to look at things simply. Whether he is aware of it or not, he creates beautiful imagery because of his loss. Subconsciously he is more aware of his surroundings. Most of the dialog is from other characters because their life is fine. Meursault is detached. He says things like he asked me if I wanted to be pals. I didn't say anything".  He is very blunt. I think that mirrors his judgmental personality. Even though we believe he is detached, his imagery may show that he isn't! If he was then he wouldn't have a sense of what was going on around him.
