Abstract: Existentialism is a philosophical discourse around an individual’s freedom and the autonomy of thought processes in decision-making. It acknowledges the ceaseless freedom of humans while also identifying the absurdity of their existence and the inevitability of mortality. The philosophy suggests that individuals face an existential predicament when they try to find their creative potential within social restrictions that often obstruct their freedom. It emerged as a reaction against the perceived distortion of values in capitalist societies, supporting the concept of alienation. However, contrasting direct alienation, existentialism involves a keen awareness of it. These philosophical ideas have influenced modern American fiction, shaping narratives that delve into the intricate relationship between individual autonomy, societal constraints, and the existential challenges of human existence.
