They are the outside perspective on Raymond's personality. In other words, they contrast Mersualts perspective of Raymond.

The example of Raymond and his mistress reflects Camus' attitude toward relationships. Both his marriages ended with infidelity, so his view of relationships would've been negative. He viewed marriage as unnatural and had man affairs, even after he was married the second time and had twins. Raymond could've represented what Camus wanted to do while the Mistress would've been a reflection of his wives.

Raymond's mistress is shown only though Raymond's view, except for one line where she speaks for herself. She yells to the police after being beaten by Raymond, "'He beat me up! He's a pimp!'" (Camus 36). Raymond's description of her portrays her as the issue of their relationship. He rages that she cheated on him and is asking for money. In this, the audience only has the unreliable view that the mistress is in the wrong. After her one quote, the audience has little to go on for her character. We either believe Raymond or the Mistress in their sides of the fight. This decision could be dependent on the readers gender or past relationships.

Meursault initially learns Raymond's background from what the neighbors say about him, and they tended to exaggerated his description to make him appear to be a really bad pimp. After Meursault listens to what Raymond has to say about himself, Meursault still knows on the inside that Raymond isn't a good person, but he begins to understand Raymond's motives.

"'So you see, I wasn't the one who started it. He was asking for it.' It was true and I agreed" (Camus 29)

As Meursault gets to here more and more from Raymond, Meursault begins to understand Raymond's actions through the way Raymond presents his situation honestly, rather than what the neighbors hear or lie about him.

"He told me he'd been keeping her. I didn't say anything, and yet right away he added that he knew what people around the neighborhood were saying, but his conscience was clear and that he was a warehouse guard." (Camus 30)

Raymond, without saying it aloud, alludes to the rumors about him and is quick to defend his reputation, which would possibly prove that the neighbors are wrong about him.

- The perspective of the neighbors vs. the perspective of Meursault; when Meursault becomes friends with Raymond, Raymond opens up with the truth behind his reputation.

- The characterization of Raymond's mistress, for she's only depicted through Raymond's explanation of her, and the one scene she's directly shown in sharply contrasts Raymond's emphasis of him being the victim, not her.
