Camus uses Sisyphus's eternal task as a metaphor for the human condition, reflecting on rebellion against nihilism and the absurd. He addresses the notion of suicide as a reaction to life's absurdity, ultimately advocating for embracing life fully despite its inherent challenges. This work serves as a profound meditation on existence, encouraging readers to confront and find meaning in the absurdity of life.
