I think this book barely have a climax. The whole book is about the internal conflict of Meursault, his attitude toward life. He seems to supporting the idea about life is meaningless. So the whole story line goes very calm. I think the most turbulence point of the story is the part where Meursault meets with a chaplain, and claims that he doesn't believe in God. Meursault's internal struggle in his time leads him to have pressure and annoyance about the society. At the point when he yells out his idea about life, he reaches the break point of himself.

The social commentary shows from the attitude of Meursault toward life. He doesn't care about anything even the death of his mother. It tells that the life in Meursault's time is hopeless, there were no goals and future. That is why Meursault shows a discourage in life.

I really think the book is really really boring. It is all about the internal conflict of the character. Even though the interior mind of Meursault is important to show the social commentary, it is really hard to have a resonance to it without the historical background. And because Meursault have a normal boring life like everybody else, reading about his life is really boring.....
