... have his life sentenced to death based on the way people perceived him towards his Maman instead of being charged with murder.

After discussions in our class and pondering this question ,I came up with my answer. The reason the book is titled the way it is, is the way that everyone in the society and those who interacted with Meursault perceived him as a stranger because he hardly showed any emotion in his life.
