Absurd theatre is a form of drama that exemplifies how illogical, irrational, and meaningless life is. According to Dr. S. C. Mundra there are seven characteristics of Absurd Theatre: 1) Life is essentially meaningless, therefore miserable. 2) There is no hope due to the inexorable unavailing of human efforts. 3) Reality is intolerable unless relieved by dreams and illusions. 4) Man is infatuated with death. 5) There is no plot and no action. 6) The final scene in the play is absurd or comical. 7)

Choice I chose this song because of the lyrical message in which caught my attention. In the song, J Cole tries to find out who he is, quoting several times “Who am I?” in the song. Another reason why I chose this song is because I enjoy listening to rap music. Adding on to my opinion, I admire J Cole's music because of the R&B/Rap feel he puts into the rhythm of most of his songs and how he adds in a subtle classical vibe. He uses calming music in the background (such as the piano and violin) to

After wrapping up the first chapter of Albert Camus’ The Stranger, I find myself questioning the heart of man. The opening lines stated “Mother died today. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can’t be sure” (Camus 4). Reading about a man who is not affected by the death of his own mother is quite sickening. The opening scenes of the novel seem quite morbid and I am nervous to continue reading. Meursault seems like a guy that has mental problems and could possibly be very dangerous. Potential conflicts in this

Il n’est pas exagère d’affirmer que l’ignorance est une chose horrifique. Ignorance peut menacer notre planète de plusieurs façons. Par exemple, il peut provoquer des guerres, l'injustice, la pauvreté, la cruauté, et peut transformer des gens sympas à de mauvaises personnes.

The Stranger There are many things that make a novel a classic. The ones I believe make “The Stranger” a classic are: the book’s character conflict and how the conflict is resolved, the setting’s ability to relate to issues in todays society, and also how the book appeals to readers of all times in terms of the theme in humanity. One of the reasons “The Stranger” becomes a classic is due to the way the Meursault deal with his internal and external conflicts. In my book, Meursault and his friend

Absurdity The term absurdity generally refers to the meaninglessness and purposelessness of life. This assumption about the basic condition of human beings has been adequately represented in literature. Though this assumption has its roots in some of the writings of nineteenth century, it emerged as a movement in twentieth century, especially in the works of Samuel Beckett, Ionesco and Genet. This group of writers, who are usually called post-world war writers, attempted to falsify the general

There is a dilemma over the practicality of history. Nietzsche, in his book “On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life,” attempts to make history practical for the individual. It is the unhistorical in which Nietzsche explains how individuals overcome and prevent life from meaninglessness. It counters the factual science of the historical, in which there is meaninglessness and abundance of facts. In order to compensate for an abundance of meaningless historical facts, the unhistorical
