A literary study of Albert Camus’ fiction exploring existentialism, absurdism, and human resilience in the face of suffering and meaninglessness.
This scholarly work examines the philosophy of absurdism in the fiction of Albert Camus while exploring themes of existential despair, alienation, uncertainty, and humanity’s search for meaning within difficult and indifferent realities. Dr. Abba A. Abba critically analyzes how Camus’s fictional characters confront the absurd conditions of human existence and attempt to construct meaning despite suffering, confusion, and moral uncertainty.
The article goes beyond traditional interpretations of absurdism by examining possibilities for resilience, ethical responsibility, resistance, and transcendence within Camus’s narratives. Through detailed textual analysis, Dr. Abba argues that Camus’s fiction does not merely dwell on hopelessness but also reveals the strength of human consciousness, dignity, and moral courage in confronting existential crises.
The study contributes to broader literary and philosophical scholarship by presenting a nuanced interpretation of existential thought and human responsibility. It also highlights the relevance of Camus’s ideas in contemporary discussions surrounding identity, psychological struggle, freedom, and the human condition in modern society.
