The fundamental truth in question is that which every ordinary person has stumbled upon in their quest to carve themselves a place in the universe. What is the meaning of life? In the aftermath of World War II, this question was especially prevalent and resulted in new efforts to understand man’s place in the universe. Absurdism came to be known as the man’s fruitless struggle—the innate desire to seek meaning in life but the lack of it to be found. Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Samuel Beckett were the founding authors and playwrights of this idea and expressed the Absurd struggle in their works of literature. Their works provide a profound understanding for why humans behave as they do and enable readers to discover their purpose in an Absurd world.
