This question pertains to Existentialism. Plays of the Absurdist Theatre will investigate the relativity of truth. So what exactly is truth? I initially thought of a dictionary definition; factual info. Then as I got more into thinking, I realized that the truth isn’t necessarily just facts. The truth can be an opinion because it is different to everyone. For example, religion plays a big part in this. Christians believe one thing and that is their truth, and Muslims believe something totally different, which is their truth. There is absolutely no proof to tell who is right and who is wrong, but to each group their belief is their truth. For me, I am starting to really figure out my truths. What I believe, what I stand for, important people in my life. So I guess this implies that truths are constants. In a way this kind of makes sense. We have our true friends, the ones that are always there. We have our true beliefs, things that we live our lives by. So what is truth? Truth is what any one person has confidence and certainty in to themselves.
Good Meghan. I really like your personal connections- those are my favorite to read :-). Next time, develop your discussion of the literature a bit.
