Sally Duff-Albert Camus

In Albert Camus’ book The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus discusses the absurd.  He talks about the absurd man as someone who has no regard for rules.  He does whatever he wants and does not think about consequences.  Camus thinks that it is ridiculous to look forward to the future, to tomorrow, because being in the future is being closer to death.  And death, to Camus, is the worst thing.  I think Edmund in Narnia reflects this.  He is not thinking about the consequences of working with the Witch, or lying about Lucy, or anything like that, he only does what feels right in the moment.  He does not weight the odds, he is definitely not making a pro/con list.  He is merely acting off instinct.
