An absurdist is a person who is intentionally bizarre in their indifference to life. Absurdism is the belief that the world is pointless. Albert Camus shows himself as an absurdist throughout the Stranger. Whether it's his reaction to his mothers death, his response to his boss when offered a job in Paris. Additionally his response to Marie when she proposed to him was one that could fall into the category of absurdism. Also when Raymond asks Meursault to come to the beach house his response is indifferent and a reflection of his absurdist views.

The absurd is the conflict between the search for the meaning of life and the meaninglessness of existence. The philosophy of absurdism goes into further detail about the absurd, and contemplates how one should react to it upon becoming aware of the absurd. It originates from dane  Søren Kierkegaard, a 19th century philosopher who developed his own existentialist philosophy.

Absurdists believe that humans live in an overall purposeless and chaotic world. Absurdism seems fairly close to existentialism. If you think about it, Existentialism may be a result of absurdism or vice versa. Existentialism is similar to a belief that your actions do not matter because the universe will remain the same. My existence is purposeless and so is this universe, so why does it matter what I do? Meaursalt is a good example of Albert Camus’ views on this. In chapter five, he says “I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered” (41), which sums up his character and absurdism very well. But in a way, existentialism can also be a cause to Absurdism. The world is chaotic because of the belief that nothing truly matters. It can also explain why Meaursalt straight up kills a man.

Absurdism is a work of fiction or a character intentionally exaggerated and made ridiculous. There are absurdist plays, movies, and books. As well as paintings. But absurdism can also be based in philosophy and can be connected to nihilism and existentialism.

Absurdism is the intentionally ridiculous behavior or values of a person or character. It theorizes that there is no real meaning in life and existence. Personally, Albert Camus was frequently bothered by the reactions of humanity to the absurd. In one instance he wondered if there was no other rational response to the absurd than suicide. Depressing. Camus's beliefs spawned from the realization that everything we love and care for will eventually die, sometimes after tremendous suffering. Basically life is hopeless and there is no point in trying to find any meaning. Life just is and you have to ride it out until your eventual death. The end. Also there's no God, so have fun with that.
