At the end of the novel Meursault comes to the conclusion that there is really no point to life since everyone has the same fate which is death. He thinks that no matter what you do in life, whether it's right or wrong, that doesn't matter because everyone has the same ending anyway. In a way, he has given up on life since there is no meaning behind it. Meursault also comes to a conclusion about the world as well. He believes that the world is indifferent which is very much like himself and that's why he is more connected with nature and his physical surroundings, that with people. The world is the only thing Meursault can really connect to.
I think Camus might agree with Meursault thinking but I dont believe that he is trying to persuade his readers to think the same way. He is simply informing and giving us an option of what we could think. But then again he might not want us to think like Meursault because he did end up having to go through the death penalty.
