Although you can read this as a standalone title, you might enjoy it a bit more if you knew about Elliot’s older brother in the Miles family.

Camus wrote about routine and waking up, “Rising, street-car, four hours in the office or factory, meal, street-car, four hours of work, meal, sleep, and Monday, Tuesday… According to the same rhythm – this path is easily followed… but one day the ‘why’ arises and everything begins in that weariness tinged with amazement”. The absurd is the realization that the world exists independently from any meaning that one attempts to give it. Here Camus is talking about the primitive hostility of the world, how dense and strange it is. That stage scenery masked by habit becomes again what it is”. Camus wrote that “the world evades us because it becomes itself again. The absurd is described as the gap between oneself and one’s senses, who one thinks they are and the resistance of the world to human endeavors. The absurd is a theme that much of Albert Camus’ work revolves around. ![]() ![]() The Company uses Cookies on the Site to collect data from those who visit the Site and use services on the Site. ![]() However, you can set or adjust your browser’s setting for avoiding using or transmitting some data for Cookies and/or deleting data stored in the Cookies at any time. ![]() Most of the browsers support the use of Cookies.
