When A Stranger Calls... don't answer the phone.

The Stranger focuses on a character who leads to a critical moment of his life by not acting. Meusault prefers to let other people make driving decisions as opposed to acting of his own. The problem though is that not until the end before the coming of his death does he consider any opinions about his life and about others. So, while Meusault sits back so as not to disturb the peace, which is conformity (or is it?), it is possible that he has no other preference than to let that go on. So, the wants of conformity and society are synonymous with his. Is conformity sitting around and letting the world pass? I don't know. Does society want us to sit around or do we all act accordingly. I suppose killing someone is out of conformity, but then killing happens every day and society continues to go on. So, has society accepted killing. Mind you, "killing is still considered :"bad" but there is a due process for murder. Also, there is a set societal system set up for how killing should be interpreted and handled. On the flip side though, it seems in this society the killing is ignored and he is convicted upon the grounds that people do not like him for what he did to his mother. I feel he goes along with society rather than acting for or against it for a while, but afterwards he goes into his own feelings, contradicting society's views.
