The Stranger by Albert Camus Part Two

In the second part of the book Mersault is arrested and imprisoned for the murder. During his trial he is not worries about his case. He feels that the jury will understand that it wasn't intentional. He does not hire an attorny he gets once that is given by the state. Monsieur is sentenced to death when the trial is over which was decided by the jury. He spends alot of time in jail thinking about how he should feel about this whole thing. While he is in his cell he thinks about Marie and his mother. The priest comes by at one point and is hoping to get something out of him. The day of his execution he realized that he is happy. This is very ironic that at the end of the story he finally is happy when he should have realized this when he had a job not while hes in jail. I feel bad for Mersault that he accepts what is going to happen to him a little too late but better late than never.
