Abstract: | My thesis entitled as,An Expatriate's Alienation in Albert Camus'The Falltries to explore post-war human condition. As an existentialist Albert Camus explores the dislocated and alienated condition of an expatriate character.The Fall (1956) as an existential novel exposes the sense of absurdity and estrangement man, who is guilty by birth, and meaningless is the meaning for his life. Jean-Baptiste Clamence, a single character ruminates in Amsterdam recalling his past life of Paris. By the use of monologue Clamence reflects his past life with comparisons and contrasts to the present life. Clamence as a Sisyphian hero tries to rationalize his earlier guilt but reveals himself as a failure. This novel is an intricate confession of a guilty man. By the use of 'Existentialism' as a theoretical perspective, I try to explore the human condition and existence. As a whole,The Fallrepresents the repression and failure of the commonalities of man, and the condition of human character. |
