A Comparative Examination of No Exit and The Stranger Exploring the Contrasts between Existentialis

In response to the profound impact of two world wars which unleashed despair devastation and widespread human rights violations two philosophical movements emerged during the 19th century: Existentialism and Absurdism. These ideologies developed to refute traditional religious doctrines and the presence of God. Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus prominent figures associated with these philosophies initially forged a close friendship amid the Nazi occupation of Paris. However their differing views ultimately severed their bond marking a significant cultural event. This study aims to compare and contrast Absurdism and Existentialism by analyzing two works: No Exit and The Stranger.
