A the absence of love

Answer 2

Answer:

The fragile nature of existence

Explanation:

Both the excerpts are from the modern period where alienation and isolation of individual self remained the dominant concern for the writers as the world out there was completely disintegrated and pessimistic. Both the excerpts exemplifies the complexities of human life prevailing at that time and the man is split into two parts. This conflict has led them to psychological interrogation of themselves regarding their existence in the world and both the protagonists begin to consider it fragile (relating to the existentialist theory of Samuel Beckett) and futile. Both these modern novels are dealing with the condemnation of contemporary values, disintegration of human self and complexity of human consciousness as Freud explained in his theory.
