>Qui aimes-tu le mieux, homme énigmatique, dis

Thanks anons.

>To understand why L'Etranger is her favorite poem and the implications of her own self-perception, we must first understand the poem.
>The poem takes the form of a dialogue between an inquirer and a stranger, an enigmatic man if you will.
>The inquirer asks the stranger what he loves most and begins listing out different options, all of which the man denies any love, for various reasons.
>Finally, when asked what he does love, the stranger says that he loves the clouds.
>There are various ways one can interpret this poem, and there is no correct answer.

>The first possible way you can interpret this poem is that it is the utter loss of identity.

>Noa's job is to record the actions of others, and that leads her to understand the behavior of those around her in a borderline unhealthy manner.
>Through the constant observations of those around her, she picks up on their habits, personality traits, quirks, likes, you name it.
>Her job revolves around this and we see that reflected in her personality.
>However, being so obsessed with observing others leaves little room for self-reflection, and that's where the concept of an identity lost comes in.
>If this interpretation is the interpretation Noa believes in, then L'Etranger would be her favorite poem because she relates to not knowing what she loves or who she really is as a person.
>That would also make sense as to why she didn't want to write down that poem on paper, as she doesn't want the notion that she is effectively in an identity crisis to be on the record forever.

Damn this seems pretty deep, I had no idea Noa was such a complex character unironically.
All I have seen about her in the BA community are lactation and milking memes.
