That is how actual women think however
>This man is horrible for not crying over such horrible things
>This man just gave me the ick by showing weakness and crying over a horrible thing
At best the only negative emotion you should show around women is anger or just the right amount of angst.

>It would seem he cares about heathcliff, for what reason I couldn't say.
Meursault's opening line, and being partially characterized by Gloom, implies that he feels guilty about his maman's death; her death itself is either the precursor to, or consequence of his sun incident.
It's possible Meursault felt a connection to Heathcliff because he was similarly losing himself over killing Catherine, or he was selfishly running defense for Heathcliff because he didn't want to be exposed to the same ballpark of emotions he's experienced already. Until he gets more spotlight you can argue for him either way.

Do you think El Director ever took shrooms? They are good for clearing out the mind of gloom.
