Doctor Rieux seemingly fails to fit the definition of Myth of Sisyphus’ absurd hero by committing so much of himself to the role of physician. After all, does the Myth not explicitly say that man uses his own freedom to enslave himself by ensaring himself in the trappings of his own occupation? In his lengthy and exhausting Being and Nothingness, Jean-Paul Sartre described the internalized ceremony he believed to be placed upon all workers, writing that “Their condition is wholly one of ceremony…
