What conclusion does Meursault come to at the end of the text? Does Camus want the reader to come to the same conclusion? Do you believe Meursault is happier or less happy at the end of the novel?

Mersault seems to come to the conclusion that no matter how different he seems to be from the rest of the world - the world actually possesses a kind of indifference, something that Mersault can relate to. I like that at the end, he shows emotion towards his mother, when before, he couldn't relate. Now that he himself was about to face death, he understood the emotions of his mother. These conclusions seem to give Mersault a sense of closure on his isolated life, a conclusion that Camus wanted the reader to feel as well, this book was very well-rounded and gave you a sense of a peaceful ending despite the fact that he is going to be executed.
