By the end of The Stranger Meursault comes to the conclusion that he doesn't in fact care about any part of his life once he has accepted the idea that he is going to be executed. Camus most likely did not intend for the reader to come to this same conclusion unless under similar circumstances where inevitable death was coming quick and even then, probably not. Most likely, Camus intended for the reader to feel sorry for the man who had but a few days left to his life and would make nothing of them except to be completely apathetic about every aspect of his dwindling time. Camus wanted the reader to realize that in the last days of his or her life, he or she should make the most of what is left instead of giving up after accepting the fact.
