similarities through their existentialist views of life, actions towards others, and wanting of escape from the real world or conscience world. These character similarities suggest similarities in the views of the two authors Fyodor Dostoevsky and Albert Camus.

Albert Camus’ The Stranger exemplifies the Absurdist point of view, as shown by the main character Meursault and the world he lives in. Meursault, though never voicing these exact words, lives in a chaotic world that is indifferent to human plight, so he decides to do what he wants to do to make himself satisfied. The only insight on…

Existentialism, as a branch of philosophy, would suggest that the correspondent has recognized the “absurdity” in life. Absurdity is the frustration people encounter when their human instinct to seek order, purpose, and meaning is challenged by the refusal of the world to be orderly or meaningful.

The victory will be ours if we continue our efforts courageously, even when at times they appear futile.” This quote by Boniface Wimmer, a German monk, perfectly sums up the capabilities of the human soul and what is necessary to happen in one’s life to ensure happiness of any kind, which is to surpass struggle. For that reason, the human soul is, by its very nature, designed to fight on despite any…

The world will have a generation of idiots.” He made this bold prediction before mobile phones were invented or even thought of. Most people of his time…
