What I found most interesting about this part of the story is how everything traces back to his mother's death and how everything occurred so fast. The emotions finally come out and its interesting to see how the beginning of the story connects to this part. On the day of the funeral the nurse tells Meursault "If you go slowly, you risk getting sunstroke. But if you go too fast, you work up a swear and then catch a chill inside the church", this shows there is no way out. You'll feel hardship one way or another and it wont change the feeling. “In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.” this quote describes how if a man cant show emotion during his mothers death, then he is emotionless and almost a criminal that deserves to be sentenced to death himself.
