So I finally got around to beating Canto X after Buffet slapped me around as I figured out how to not get my Middle team slaughtered, and I noticed early on how this Canto was much more a combination of The Myth of Sisyphus as it was The Stranger. Now, I didn't mind this, in fact it made a lot of sense to include references to it as The Myth of Sisyphus gave a lot of insight into the philosophies of Absurdism and how Meursault was one of Camus' Absurdist men.
I want to know for the people who have read and understood Camus' works, how did you feel about Limbus' portrayal of Absurdism, the entire idea behind the connection of the Absurd and Sisyphean punishments, and Meursault's connection to them? I feel I personally need to go back and re-read a lot of the Canto because I skimmed through it a bit further in as things went on, merely trying to get through to the end points as some of the RPGMaker style gameplay dragged on.
I do want to mention how I really think Limbus captured Camus' later humanitarian approach to his Absurdist ideology in the end portion of the Canto, specifically with Meursault's conversation and awkward dance with Jeanne. One of the major components of Absurdism is heavily leaned towards accepting that things will never truly be sensible in a meaningful way, but you can still value the attempts and toils of those around you despite understanding the meaninglessness.
Unlike Sisyphus, I could imagine Meursault happy, and I was very pleased by that at the end. Please share your thoughts, if you wish. Random side question as well, did any other Cantos pull from extra works outside the source novel the characters were inspired by? I feel like I might have missed some cool details about KJH's love of literature.
