What is absurdism in simple words?nothing

As we can very clearly observe, "Absurdism" comes from the
word 'absurd' and its literal meaning is 'something unusual or strange and different
from traditional things'. So, we can understand 'absurdism' in easy terms as a genre of
literature which does not employ the traditional plot structure, rather it is comparable
to surrealism, existentialism and Dadaism for its approach and treatment of characters
and use of expressions.

The 'Absurd theatre' first began in
France, specifically Paris in late 19th and early 20th century.This genre is employed to
various literary forms like plays, poems or
novels.

Usually, in an absurd piece or work, the characters
behave in a quite confused manner and act irrationally - the common confusion being
their reason and purpose of existence. They continuously face a situation or
philosophical condition of being "nothing." Some examples (that I have read :)) can be :
Harold Pinter's "The Birthday Party' and poems of Bertolt
Brecht.

The characters in absurd works seem to be lost and
floating in a strange world; they continuosly grope or search for exact and accurate
expressions to communicate themselves.Their world appears to be incomprehensible to the
audience or readers. Many a times, their language is nonsensical and illogical,eg.,
conversation between Goldberg and Stanley in 'The Birthday Party'. The characters of
such plays geneally are depicted in pairs,either two males or one male and one
female.
