Explain Mersault’s response to the chaplain in their final meeting in the story. What does Mersault conclude about life as a res
Nezavi [6.7K]

Mersault's response to the chaplain is the deny of listening about God at his last moments, before his death, he says he does not have interest in the subject or time for it. Mearsault also tells he does not believe in God and when the chaplain claims that God justice is more important than the man justice he says they were the first one to blame him.

Mersault conclude that he lived in a certain way and he could have lived in other way. But now all his life made sense, why he did one thing or not another, now his absurd life was all in place.

This is one expression of existentialism thought because it reveals the absurd of our existences, the brutality of it as it is, with no prior purpose for his actions or life, which the man himself has to biuld and find along his path himself.
