According to critic Mark Esslin, the concept of "Theatre of the Absurd" refers to "playwrights loosely grouped under the label of the absurd who attempt to convey their sense of perplexity, anxiety and wonder in the face of an inexplicable universe” (“The Theater”). Esslin highlighted the fact that the plays and stories belonging to the "Theater of the Absurd" were composed of situations dealing with how a human reacts to an event, without any form of importance, thus contenting themselves with insisting on insignificant things and reject the notion of "logic." Albert Camus, a major author of the "Theater of the Absurd", constructs "the Absurd" by completely varying this concept across the human personality, illustrated by The Stranger and “The Myth of Sisyphus”. Camus redefines the absurd by considering “the absurd” as a world made up of “the struggle to find meaning where there is none” (Albert Dans L’). Stranger, Camus writes about a man named Meursault, who is one day informed that his mother has died far away. Surprisingly, Meursault does not show tears of sorrow or sorrow like at his own mother's funeral. later, Meursault strikes up a romance with the charming Marie, who, like him, loves the beach and swimming in the ocean. On a sunny day, Meursault shoots and murders an Arab. He then spends the rest of his time in court, in order to prove his innocence and thus prevent his execution. Throughout the story, Meursault depicts his nature: “a man who does not allow himself to be comforted by the illusions and emotions that protect men from the cold, bitter stone of their present condition” (Scott 127). Throughout The Stranger, the "silence" in the book describes the themes of this novel. For example, when Meursault makes... middle of paper... an existence, as evidenced by Meursault and his theory of inevitable death, and Sisyphus. As noted, The Thinker was created with the original intention of depicting Dante before the gates of Hell, meditating on his magnificent poem. This resembled the “Myth” as Sisyphus was punished by the lord of the Underworld. As Meursault says, "for the first time in years, I had this stupid urge to cry, because I felt how much all these people hated me" (Camus 90). Through much of the degradation of the language through silence and the distinctive structuring of words, The Stranger and "The Myth of Sisyphus" describe in depth how illogical the world could be, how futile human life is and how there is no being superior in the afterlife a human being believes that the absurd condition of everyone exists in the sense that no one is concerned or willing to help each other...
