The Absurd: A Comparative Study of The Homecoming and The Vultures

"The Absurd: A Comparative Study of The Homecoming and The Vultures" offers an in-depth analysis of the works of two significant playwrights, Harold Pinter and Vijay Tendulkar. This comparative study examines the concepts of the absurd that are present in both Pinter's "The Homecoming" and Tendulkar's "The Vultures." The author, Mithun Khandwala, highlights how the philosophy of the absurd, shaped by Western thinkers like Camus and Sartre, has also influenced Indian literature post-independence. Through the analysis of these two culturally distinct texts, it demonstrates how they share common themes and motifs despite their differences in socio-economic conditions. This study aims to foster a better understanding of human existence and the challenges associated with it.
