By the end of The Stranger , Braun feels that Meursault comes to the acceptance of his absurdity in relation to the world. He feels that as Meursault looks back upon his life and the many things that had taken place that the world cannot and did not provide any answer as to why or what he is here for. As for the word absurd, I understand it as man living without reason to hope and actions become meaningless. Absurdity is a realization of man that the world has nothing as far as an answer to offer him. Man is seeking an answer as to why he is here, and what put him here.
Man is involved in a life that seems to have continuous daily occurrences.
For absurdity, there must be a denial of Christianity as the answer to these questions of the absurd. Because of this denial, there is no belief in an afterlife or a God, but a reliability upon fate. Because this life on earth is all you have and you should be happy with what you have at the time and should at anytime have lived you life to the fullest and in essence be ready to die at anytime. For Meursault is a simple man and is not concerned with nor does he express his emotions if he has any to the reader before he shoots the Arab and goes to prison. Part of the cycle of absurdity is everydayness, which is an endless sequence of daily occurrences that leads to one wondering.
