Absurd Hero

An Absurd Hero is a character who faces life’s unpredictability, chaos, and often incomprehensible circumstances without losing their sense of purpose or hope. They acknowledge the absurdity of existence—meaningless or irrational aspects of life—and choose to act anyway. Rather than despair, they accept the contradictions and continue their efforts, embodying resilience and courage. The term is often associated with Albert Camus’ philosophy, emphasizing that even in a universe without inherent meaning, individuals can find personal significance through their actions and attitudes.
