Explain Taylor's Point When He Asks Us to "Suppose That

question 134

Essay

Explain Taylor's point when he asks us to "suppose that the gods, while condemning Sisyphus to the fate just described, at the same time, as an afterthought, waxed perversely merciful by implanting in him a strange and irrational impulse; namely, a compulsive impulse to roll stones." Furthermore, "suppose that is Sisyphus' condition. He has but one obsession, which is to roll stones, and it is an obsession that is only for the moment appeased by his rolling them-he no sooner gets a stone rolled to the top of the hill than he is restless to roll up another."
