Postwar Disillusionment

Postwar Disillusionment is a historical and cultural condition characterized by widespread skepticism toward traditional ideologies, institutions, and existential meaning in the aftermath of World War II, marked by a perceived collapse of rationalism, moral certitude, and progressive narratives, which profoundly influenced the emergence and thematic concerns of Absurdist Drama and Absurdist Theatre.
