Question

Facing a cold, hostile universe, these playwrights felt that what happens in life cannot be explained logically, that human existence is futile, that relationships are ineffective, language is imprecise and that traditional structures of plays fail to reflect the ridiculousness, meaninglessness, anxiety and chaos of the world. which "ism" is this?

Answer 1

The answer is "Absurdism".

Absurdism is the conviction that a scan for importance is characteristically in strife with the genuine absence of significance, however that one should both acknowledge this and at the same time defy it by grasping what life brings to the table.
