Albert Camus uses the story of Sisyphus, a figure from Greek mythology condemned to push a heavy boulder up a hill for eternity, as a metaphor for the human condition and the absurdity of life. He argues that humans, like Sisyphus, are doomed to repeat the same tasks over and over again, despite the inherent futility of their efforts.
Camus suggests that the only way to find meaning in this absurd world is to embrace it and rebel against it. This involves acknowledging the pointlessness of life and finding joy and fulfilment in the act of rebellion itself.
