    The term "absurdity" is very well known in literature and frequently used by the writers of post 2nd World War. They use this term in the manner of its meaning or even more than that in their works. The effects of War and human sufferings from that caused absurdism to flourished and also spread Nihilism, meaninglessness, nothingness. The aim and motive of this paper is to prove that the idea of absurdism may be new which is observed by absurd writer on human bizarre situation, but the existence of absurdism was already been used in the writings of Elizabethan writers or before that. In these writers the king of drama, William Shakespeare was also one of the most prominent in whose writings the existence of absurdity can easily be traceable when he is well known for his tragedies and comedies. Although this existence was not noticed by or tagged by the writers or critics of that time as absurdism, there was its presence on the large scale. This paper is going to compare the level of absurdity among the playwrights of absurd and absurdism in the select works of Shakespeare. The idea here is that the writer who is still incomparable also created the levels of absurdity in his plays unintentionally without being aware of the notion of "Absurdism".

    "Do not envy the gods, my son-for they burn most true." When boredom becomes divine, even the void finds something to do. Aphrodel was not born-he decided to exist. Crawling from the silence between realities, he wore madness like a coat and tried on mortality like masks in a dressing room. Tyrants, poets, children... gods. This is not a tale of good or evil. It's the story of a being who became the god of the feeling you get when you forget something important because you walked through a doorway. A cosmic myth laced with absurdity, horror, forgotten love, and eldritch diapers.
