How and to what effect can both Antigone from Jean Anouilh's Antigone and Meursault from Albert Camus' The Stranger be viewed as outsiders?

Meursault and Antigone are the main characters in the stories. They have a lot of the same issues and beliefs like how they explain their deaths as their fate, even though they both can prevent their deaths they chose not to avoid it because they are willing to die for what they believe in. The idea of fate is very different between the two texts. In Antigone the narrator tells you that Antigone will die. Antigone tries to expain her reasoning for what she's doing as being honerable to her brother, she uses fate to explain all of this to Creon. In The Outsider fate isn't spoken of its just the way Meursault lives his entire life, he believes that in the end we all die and the idea of fate is more subtle.

At the beginning, Meursault gets a girlfriend named Marie. He doesn't care if he marries Marie or not, which is like Antigone and Heamon. In a way we can say that Meursault says he would marry Marie because he doesnt care, it doesnt matter to him because again in the end all we do is die. Something like Antigone, she agrees to marry Heamon, and she knows what the punishment is for what she has done and she prepares herself for death because she knows thats what the threat was. To people judging Merursault and Antigone  the would find them strange, different, crazy or even insane. Creon nor the court could understand why they wouldnt pick life over death as it was so very easy for them to just excape death.

So to a certain extent we can see how Antigone and Meursault can be seen as outsiders in their societies, it is very arrguable that they are not outsiders. They are outsiders in the case that they are different and think differently from the people around then but they are not outsiders in the case that what they are fighting for are not crazy or unbelievable things. T Both are willing to die for what they believe is right.
