Abstract

This article provides a comparative exploration of existentialist themes, elucidated by Soren Kierkegaard and Jean-Paul Sartre, focusing on individuality, subjective truth, freedom, and responsibility. Additionally, it delves into Tahir Nawaz's novel "Saarhy Teen," examining how the protagonist's existential crisis aligns with the tenets of existentialism. The analysis highlights the enduring influence of Kierkegaard and Sartre in shaping literary narratives, emphasizing the universal relevance of existentialist philosophy in capturing the intricacies of the human experience, as exemplified in Nawaz's contemporary work.
