The Stranger "The lost glimpse of hope"

Even though Mersault still didn't seem to care about anything, things looked pretty well. It looked like finally good things would come out from Mersault. His relationship with Marie seemed to be doing pretty well, he'd become closer to Raymon and the Mistress problem seemed to have passed. Even down at the beach with Raymond's friends, Mersault seemed to be socializing and connecting with Masson. I was starting to change my point of view toward Mersaults way of acting and emotions. I really believe that he just had a hard shell and maybe underneath he was actually a sensitive person, that he really did feel something towards Marie because he was always thinking on how he could imagine himself next to her. But my illusion was erased the moment he killed the arab. I understan that in a way he did it on self defense so im not going to judge him for shooting the arab, but what i don't understand is why after he was sure that the arab was on the ground he fire the gun 4 more times at the dead body?
- why does he keep ruinning his chances of being happy?
- why is he friends with Raymond if he's always getting him into trouble?
- what will happen know between him and marie?
