Journal #4

Meursault comes to the conclusion that life is worth living. Living is reason enough to live. Meursault looks at the life of Maman and sees that she started doing the things that she wanted to at the end of her life. This is seen when she takes up a "fiancée" at her retirement home and begins taking an interest in religion. Maman takes an interest in things even near the end of her life. Meursault sees this and comes to the conclusion that we will all eventually die and that we need to enjoy the time that we have. I think Camus wants us to come to the same conclusions that Meursault comes to.
