A friend of Meursault's, Celeste has a restaurant where Meursault likes having dinners. He is an example of a true friend as he helps him with everything, and shows his desire to do more and more for the best friend. Celeste is very loyal to Meursault. He tells us that for real Mersault is another guy. That he is honest, kind, he even can love, but unfortunately, bad luck doesn’t leave him. Celeste’s assertion that the murder had no rational cause and was simply a case of bad luck reveals a worldview similar to Meursault.
