Abstract

This article explores the use of Hyperbase to analyze the themes of the absurd represented in three major phases: self-satisfaction, guilt, and shame in Albert Camus The Fall. Through the monologue of Jean- Baptiste Clamence, a former Parisian lawyer, Camus dissects these themes by highlighting Clamence's existential isolation and his confrontation with the absurdity of his condition. The study adopts a lexicometric approach, using Hyperbase to examine word frequencies and co-occurrences, thereby segmenting Clamence's life into the three aforementioned phases. This analysis reveals recurring patterns and explores the emotional
dynamics of the main character, providing a deep understanding of the work and its philosophical implications.
