Infinite: examining existentialism in some literary works

A concept that is and continues to be used in various works of art, literature, and in our lives. But can it be related to the theory of Existentialism? For example in "The Stranger" by Albert Camus the main character is impassioned and has this sense of being nothing and nothing and nothing in this world. So could we say that infinite is "nothing" because it is such a vast number of time that time is ruled out because it is beyond us. So an accumulation of infinite would turn to be nothing since it is impossible to measure it’s feat? What is infinite and can it be compared or connected to Existentialism?

    I enjoy the Harry Potter series. I’ve literally grown with the movie franchise and novels. Very well written. I have no if, and’s, or but’s. A “Yay” to Harry Potter.

    Why Harry Potter Appeals to Adults as Well as Younger Audiences

    I had the pleasure of enjoying “The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin” in my literature AP class the senior year of my high school education. The debate over this novel is increasingly apparent in how Twain uses the language, or rather lingo of the day to construct the reality and severity of the story. I feel that it is necessary to understand every aspect of our past. Yet, the novel in it’s essence is not in any way about racism, rather I feel it is fear. What we don’t know, or whom we have not come to understand sometimes can scare us. Making us lessor human and more monster in the acts we drive into the core of our society.
    A favorite part of mine is the dialogue of Colonel Sherburn against “the mob” of people that come to lynch him because his action against Boggs.
    There is so much to this novel that is inherently necessary for the education of understanding ourselves in Western Society and Culture.
    Above all the article on the subject of opinion is very interesting! If you have read the book and read this article it would be interesting to see how others correlate with there reaction.
