Answer:
Theater of the Absurd is driven by the basic principle that life in itself is absurd, and therefore has no meaning. This is existentialist in that the belief is that meaning and purpose cannot be found. This movement was a departure from the classic form of plays in which they had a plot with a beginning, middle, and end. This is because absurdists believed that life is not like that and does not actually build towards a climax. The purpose of absurdist plays is to capture life as it is, making the plight of man become very important as a central concept. These plays are character centered, showing the inner workings of the mind, and they lack a central conflict. The title implies that these plays center around bizarre plot lines but in face they usually only verge on being strange.
