- W199427032 abstract "Despite different national origin, social milieu and temperament, Conrad, Kafka and Camus share a common experience of life, a com mon concern with the moral man, and a rare dedication to their duty as artists. They also share a common background of misery and alidna tion in their early years, which instilled in them a lasting habit of introspection and are partly responsible for their themes of mans apart ness and the absurdity of his condition. In an essay Hope and the Absurd in the Work of Franz Kafka, Camus considers The Trial to be an important novel of the absurd, and his own The Fall seems to be a sort of a counterpart of Kafka's book, in which the accused is identified with the accuser as juge-penitent. The word absurd in English does not merely indicate being ouit of harmony with reason or propriety; incongruous, unreasonable, il logical (The New English Dictionary); it also conveys the meaning of funny or grotesquely funny or ridiculous. In French, how ever, the meaning of ahsurde (as defined in the Petit Larousse) is con-< traire d la raison, d sens commun. Camus' view of absurdity is in keeping with the Frefnch meaning of the word. Absurdity to him is very much what it meant to Conrad ?the frightful gulf that separates man from his surroundings, man from man, and the disparity between the human ideal and reality. It is also, in the larger sense, any kind of injustice and crime, any form of man's inhumanity. Kafka's portrayal of absurdity is similar in that it also recognizes man's estrangement but his depiction of its manifestations includes the meaning of ridiculousAs Jean Collignon points out,1 Kafka's charact ers are not unlike Charlie Chaplin who may laugh at the policemen while they are hitting him. In Kafka's world, the judges, the officials, all wielders of absolute or limited power strike us as being ludicrous, even though they always win in the end. Mr. Collignon deserves to be quoted on this:" @default.
