Focusing on Albert Camus's exploration of absurdity, this work delves into his play "Caligula," illustrating how it transcends mere artistic expression to embody a profound philosophical inquiry. The character of Caligula, a tyrant confronting the absurdity of life and death, serves as a lens through which the human condition is examined, particularly the theme of existential despair. The study also positions Caligula as a persistent myth, suggesting that his portrayal significantly influenced Camus's understanding of the Absurd.
