| Sumario: | The gratuitous behavior is appeared as an impulsive act that the actor realizes without any motivation and/or provacation. This behavior shows that the actor makes freely his acts from all types of reasons. This act is also a demonstration of the liberty of the author/maker realising the gratuitous behavior. It is question of the motivelessness of the act in the manner of this behavior. This act deprived of all explicit motivations, reasons and necessities doesn’t provide any interest to the actor who realized the act. This act is totally gratuitous and it is impossible to ascertain its reasons. In his novel named Les Caves du Vatican Andre Gide, one of famous french novelist of the frech literature exposed this fact by his hero Lafcadio realizing the gratuitous behavior by killing an innocent person Amédée Fleurissoire. In his novel L’Etranger, Albert Camus being one of existentialist writers, created a novel hero Mersault realizing the gratuitous behavior by killing a person in the beach. In his work Gide doesn’t establish any causative correlation between the actor and his act. He emphasises specially the free will which conduces the actor to realise the act. This shows that the actor realising the gratuitous behavior is free and independent. Although the hero Lafcadio acting the gratuitous behavior is conscious of his act, he is deprived of designating the reasons which conduce him to perform this behavior. As for Camus, he accentuates on the character of his hero Mersault acting the gratuitous behavior. His character makes Mersault realize involuntarily and unconsciously his acts. This hero consents to his destiny without making pleadings before the judge because he regards the struggle against the external factors as absurd. He is sentenced to death. |
