The Stranger - Final Part

The last part of The Stranger is the one in which I expected for something big to happen - some kind of an unexpected climax. But unfortunately the story's intensity went down with Mersault being found guilty on the charges that were pressed against him. During the last days of his life, before his execution using a guillotine, he spends his time thinking about life. At some point he comes to a conclusion that everyone is going to die someday and that he is just dying earlier than the rest. In my opinion, this is what happens when you let fate make the choices that you are supposed to make. If Mersault was punished for something, (except for the murder) it was for wasting his life.
