1. 研究目的与意义

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. People always consider the suicide as the social phenomenon. Actually, the first important factor leading to the suicide should be individual thought. Suicide is to admit that it is not worth living for life. Then, What makes a person choose to die? Why does the person suddenly realize life has no meaning? There is one thing can explain it, and that is absurdity.

Absurdity is just a feeling. It is a feeling belonging to people who live in the world. This feeling tends to be discord, inconsistent, irrational and meaningless. Absurdity creates a feeling that people are cast away in a world alien to themselves. It means people are strange to the world around them. There is a gulf between people and the world. It feels like the world is closed to people, and people can#8217;t feel them as a part of the world. These make people feel lost in some meaningless mess. People start to doubt about real value of themselves. Gradually, they are aware of meaninglessness in themselves. Absurd is a resistance to meaninglessness.

Suicide is not necessarily been considered as a superficial problem related to the society It is important to know about the absurd, which make people numb to life. Absurdity is lordship over death. The fact should wake up people that this problem is much more important than other problems. After all, judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

2. 研究内容和预期目标

Research contents: Roy Finn#8217;s suicide is an overwhelming turn of events in the novel Legend of a Suicide. That is to say Roy Finn#8217;s suicide is the shift of the whole story. Exploring the mystery of Roy Finn#8217;s suicide is a big point. Through analyzing causes of Roy Finn#8217;s suicide in Legend of a Suicide, I will lead to the conception of absurdity. I will clarify what is absurdity and how will people feel when they feel sense of absurdity as clearly as possible. I hope readers can have a brief understanding of absurdity after they read the article. Introducing the definition of the absurdity is the first thing necessary for me to do. Next, I will expand to connect absurdity and suicide. Focusing on which induce Roy Finn#8217;s absurd awareness and why his absurd awareness result in his suicide at last is my second point. Causes of Roy Finn#8217;s absurd awareness include three parts. They are Roy Finn#8217;s personal thought, impacts from living with his mother and impacts from living in Sukkwan Island with his father David Vann. Why does his absurd awareness suddenly lead to his suicide will be mainly discussed.

The third point is about Roy Finn#8217;s father Mr. Finn. And this point includes two big parts, about the causes and die-out of Mr. Finn#8217;s suicide tendency. The causes of Mr. Finn#8217;s suicide tendency will be divided into two small parts. One part is alienation caused by failure of his dreams, the other is alienation caused by failure of his marriage. Both they two is for analyzing the causes of absurdity. However, in this third point, the die-out of Mr. Finn#8217;s suicide tendency is the key point. The disappearance of suicide tendency just explains how to avoid suicide when people are trapped in sense of absurdity. It will help us further know the relationship between absurdity and suicide. They don#8217;t have to coexist. With this, I will tell that absurdity don#8217;t lead to suicide but dominate suicide. Whether suicide or not depends on people#8217;s attitude to their absurdity.

The last point is up to human#8217;s living meaning. But this point will not be pulled out at length. I hope readers can comprehend human#8217;s living meaning through my above analysis by their own can comprehend human#8217;s living meaning through my analysis. Does life have meaning? What is their real mission? Facing absurdity, pain and death, which attitude we should take. I think readers can find their own answers after reading my subject.

3. 国内外研究现状

Legend of Suicide is the magnum opus of the contemporary American writer David Vann. This novel hasn#8217;t been born for a very long time, so there haven#8217;t been many researches on it. But it has research value. In the future, it will draw people#8217;s great attention internationally.

Although this novel hasn#8217;t been researched on by many people, absurd philosophy has occupied a certain position in the field of philosophy. People who at first give the word absurd philosophical meaning are the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, the French philosopher Pascal. They related the word absurd to people#8217;s basic existence state. Pascal pointed out that human condition is absurd. People don#8217;t know who install human in the world and don#8217;t know What is world. He thought people knew nothing about the real world. Kierkegaard thought individual human existence was absurd because fear and despair were two basic human conditions. He thought people should look for salvation to free from fear and despair. Thereafter, Existentialist philosopher Martin Heidegger, Jaspers and Sartre all talked about absurdity in human#8217;s living meaning. They all took absurdity as a living condition and existing experience of human, although they had different attitudes to absurdity and different exits for absurd.

Camus can be a representative writer of absurdity. His works The Stranger, Caligula, The Myth of Sisyphus are claimed to be absurd trilogy. Especially in his work The Myth of Sisyphus, He tells us the origin of absurdity, what is absurdity, which attitudes we should take to absurdity and the relationship between absurdity and literary and artistic creation. He almost has been full of discussion of absurd issues.
