The Unsung Tradition of the Absurd in Sub-Continent Literature
Abstract
Genre of the Absurdism depicts the inexplicability and unpredictability of life. The world is portrayed as it has been abandoned by some higher authority or it is a place, wherein people are dissociated from society leading to utter isolation, rendering them more vulnerable to control and manipulation. The above discussed social ecology led to the development of the genre of the Absurd. The genre of the Absurd is not insignificant blend of the thoughts of a nonconformist mind experimenting with traditional literary rites rather it is unpleasant yet honest reproductions of the purposelessness, and utter incomprehensibility of modern existence. The works of the absurdist writers , like existential thinkers, are not imbalanced rather they are imbued with something substantial through which they replicate sense of the pointlessness of the human existence and the insufficiency of the coherent approach in this regard. It afforded the readers and viewers an empty and muddled environment wherein people are found expressing in an irrational and illogical way. The genre characterized the lack of inspiration and motivational factors within human beings, depletion of moral values and loss of identity.
