An absurd view of marriage

Yesterday I went to the best class at tinto tintero I have ever been. The topic was The Outsider.
Among many things I liked, and felt myself represented I specially liked the excerpt from the novel "The Stranger" by Albert Camus, its taken from chapter V of the first part. It is the description of the proposal of marriage made by Marie Cardona to Meursault and his strange response.

"...Marie came that evening and asked me if I’d marry her. I said I didn’t mind; if she was keen on it, we’d get married. Then she asked me again if I loved her. I replied, much as before, that her question meant nothing or next to nothing—but I supposed I didn’t.
“If that’s how you feel,” she said, “why marry me?”
I explained that it had no importance really, but, if it would give her pleasure, we could get married right away. I pointed out that, anyhow, the suggestion came from her; as for me, I’d merely said, “Yes.”
Then she remarked that marriage was a serious matter. To which I answered: “No.”
She kept silent after that, staring at me in a curious way. Then she asked:
“Suppose another girl had asked you to marry her—I mean, a girl you liked in the same way as you like me—would you have said ‘Yes’ to her, too?” “Naturally.”
Then she said she wondered if she really loved me or not. I, of course, couldn’t enlighten her as to that. And, after another silence, she murmured something about my being “a queer fellow.” “And I daresay that’s why I love you,” she added. “But maybe that’s why one day I’ll come to hate you.”
To which I had nothing to say, so I said nothing.
She thought for a bit, then started smiling and, taking my arm, repeated that she was in earnest; she really wanted to marry me. “All right,” I answered. “We’ll get married whenever you like.”

What was really interesting is what David said, that in his opinion women liked to feel the most important person in the world and that men are more easy going about the very important things and did’nt need that kind of approval. There were many interesting opinions mainly from the women. One of them said "We do not like feeling the most important thing in the world we NEED to feel the most important thing in the world".
