The absurdist is concerned with the search for meaning in the Universe. He believes this search to be meaningless–hence the disintegration of plot, character, and language in absurdist drama.

However, the absurdist is confronted with a curious paradox: though he believes the Universe to be meaningless, he cannot abandon the search for meaning–or he will die.
