Camus' focus on time changes from recent and distinct days in part one to large grupings with no indication of how long ago they were. He does this because time is a societal value, without a society time does not matter, and he uses it to show Meursault's gradual seperation from society.
I love it. But the idea that without society, time has no value is a little too bold. I would cut that little phrase and it still makes sense.
