Futility of Human Existence Exposed in The Guest by Albert Camus

"People desperate for human condition are cowards, but promising people are fools" (Wyatt). As Albert Camus said, he is not an optimistic writer. "Customers" can clearly see their own pessimistic view of life. The story itself contains the idea of ​​crowning about the uselessness of human beings: the only rationality that anyone can expect is death. From the beginning of the story, Camu's basic philosophy was revealed. The French title "L'hote" also means "guest" and "host". That is, the relationship between the heroes of the story should be applied to people all over the world.

If you can be punished for not doing anything, you may be grateful for the irony of Albert Camus of "The Guest". This story embodies the view on Camu's absurdism, especially the meaning of existence. Absurdism refers to philosophical exploration of meaning and can not find meaning. In the case of "guest", the principal who did not want to choose both sides in the conflict was in an unstable position due to lack of action; this is an ironic part of the story. The environment is important, but the existence of irony is particularly surprising at the end.

In order to resist this absurd existence, free will is the most important condition for mankind. Albert Camus, the ideological leader and novelist like the former existentialist, is the most famous hero, a stranger Melsalt is an imaginary expression of Kelly's wrestling. When meaningless murder and execution collapse, Kelly accepts a life that retreats in life In this life, rewards and waves are equally wasteful of fighting death.

As to the uselessness sometimes related to existentialism, Albert Camus said: "In the depths of winter, I know that there is finally an unbeatable summer." In the center of his philosophy, Albert Accepting life is merely a tool of death and there is no more force to pull strings The meaning of life is personal. But in his heart, Camus believes that life is an opportunity to accomplish more and go beyond death and make it better. The greatest sin is apathy of death and despair, indifference to the opportunity given to you by free will.
