Albert Camus, was a great novelist essayist and playwright of France. Camus’ philosophy of existence seems to govern the action of his novel entirely. The Existentialism is viewed as a revolt against traditions and conventions against all that hampers the liberty of human being. It emphasizes upon man’s alienation, suffering, helplessness, freedom and absurdity of human existence. The existentialists consider human life as absurd. In literature, the theory of existentialism lays emphasis on man’s responsibility for forming his own nature along with his personal decisions, personal freedom and personal goals. The philosophy of existentialism is clearly evident in Camus’ character-sketch of Meursault.
