The Cockroach'S Lucky Day
Gargee Baruah · 3 min read · 12.8K reads
The sight of a cockroach disrupts the romanticism in my life and, navigates my thoughts through existentialism as well as absurdity of all values such as valour and pride enforced in us humans to win heroic triumphs! Parody of a failed Tragedy (as in a Tragedy, Aristotle says that the hero faces 'hamartia' which leads to his fall), the supposed act of courage which is to slaughter the mighty cockroach does not take place in practical sense but, its anticipation does in the mind of the supposed 'hero'. Here, the Absurd meets Drama and fuses into an epic failure!
