I think the laughter was from his own guilty conscious and A fear of being judged. It’s a recurring theme throughout the book. He hears people laughing at him and his avoidance of it.
Agreed champ. It's also worth noting that he hears the laughter for the first time just as he's enjoying a kind of triumph. He feels powerful and satisfied with himself, but the moment is cut short by the laughter.
I disagree with this analysis of Clamence, especially with him hating humanity. Even the quotes you referred to don't specify any feeling of hatred. Maybe he expresses very raw view on social aspects but not hatred. Reminds me of 'Thus spoke Zarathustra' when the mountain man comes down and starts yelling to the public his spiritual findings, and everyone laughs at him. Nietzche doesn't find this hateful or blame the people for their ignorance. This is a natural way of being for the masses, both Camus and Nietzche know this. Sort of a curse for living in a superior plane, the feeling of being misunderstood
Him: “of course, the title refers to the fall of man from the Garden of Eden”
Me, a moron: :O
This story is way deeper than it first seems

I just read this book for the third time. This analysis is so informative and full of poetry.
That's my favourite book from Camus. I'm glad you enjoyed the video:)
Also it wasn’t the event of hearing a laughter that broke him, it was the woman who suicides and he doesn’t do anything that gets him.
