Why might have meursault compared the jurors in his trial to a group of people on a streetcar? people on a streetcar are capable of making an objective decision for the greater good. people on a streetcar are generally friendly and consider the needs of other passengers. people on a streetcar are typically from the working class and can thus understand meursault’s frustration. people on a streetcar are complete strangers who are indifferent toward each other while they are along for the ride.
