The end of " The Stranger"

The last chapters of “The Stranger” disappointed me because all my hopes faded out, since I expected Meursault to talk and thus make people that were going to decide for his life to understand him. Hence, Meursault was sentenced to be decapitated “in the name of the French people.” Indeed, throughout the trial, not even once did I think that Meursault would be decapitated, the worst that I thought was lifetime imprisonment. As a result, I tried hard to find the true reasons that were lying underneath this bizarre decision. Questions constantly popped into my head and the once that seemed to have more sense to me where questions such as, was the execution a neutralizer of society’s conflicts at that time? Or was the execution a rejection of an individual that did not have the same morals as his society? Think of such questions maybe they will bring a new perspective of “The stranger” and they will make this story look less strange.
