The End...
...he refuses to see the priest. Why would he? He doesn't believe in God, he is going to be dead soon why would he think and listen and talk to something/someone he doesn't believe in. The last chapters get a better view of this strange character. He just amuses me in every sense. I never liked the way people act because they have to, because the society expects us to. He just doesn't get that, that what makes him so strange, or depending on your view, so special. He goes to some sort of spiritual enlightment, when talking to the priest, and him talking crap about the heaven, and what expects us after we die, that this life is only some sort of a test that we go in order to decide one's destiny after they die. He gets mad, and realizes that the real gift is this life that we live... The real gift is outside and he wanted to experience it so bad. We don't see his end. We don't even know if the appeal happened, or what was decided. The author leaves it up to us to decide his fate, and that actually pisses me of, because I can't help but think that they killed him after all. I guess that is how optimistic you are... I enjoy The Stranger every single page, because it questions everything, it annoys us or it just make us think of the thinking patterns we are "obliged" in a way to follow, because the society expects us to. What happens if we don't is not really up to us...
