#96: The Myth of Sisyphus (6: Drama)

We discuss Chapter 2 "The Absurd Man", Section 2, "Drama" of Camus' Nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus. Here, Camus explains why the actor is a prime example of who "the absurd man" is. The absurd man, much like the actor, lives many different lives--and all of them to the fullest. What the absurdist cannot unify, they multiply.
