Spoilers ahead …….

Thanos may be the villain but have you ever wondered why?. Nobody out of the blue starts to hate every entire race. He was a Victim of the theory of human predicament( unavaibility of resources as per the population) he just wanted his people to eat whenever they want without caring to find the resources eveyday, that’s why he wanted all Six infinity stones to destroy half the universe without realizing its consequences.

If you observe around you will find literature lurking around everywhere, whether it is soothing yet powerful fiction or harsh reality. Just like another day, you tend to do all your work that comes under the category of “standard of living” for what this earth constantly take your test no matter what your condition is. Neither earth nor people (who have enough money) care about those who cry everyday for resources to live ordinary.

What will happen when humans have to face the situation in which the Earth can’t support the number of people living on it ?

What will happen when earth can’t match with the ordinary standard of living?

What if all the resources that are required for survival will be gone?

Well these are the questions that are raised in the theory of human predicament, that surely fits in the Avengers: Infinity war..

Thanos the dark villain of Marvel universe tensed up with this situation when his home world “TITAN” can’t hold the titans ( people) living on it. The shortage of resources leads to the devastation of Thanos’ home world “TITAN”. According to him he is right, I mean the annihilation made him a monster. After the demolition of entire one generation of Zen-whoberi race he adopted Gamora because he found something in her still he reluctantly throws her to death granting himself the soul stone, her home planet was poor and according to thanos he put mercy on its citizens. Zen-whoberi race, Drax the destroyer’s home planet ,the Earth and every other planet which Thanos attacked were the real and traumatized victims of this situation. Thanos is only the normal citizen who happened to be the victim of harsh reality of human predicament. Death becames the major component here that is the end of this philosophy. This theory relates to the Theatre of absurd that was introduced in 1950s when Martin Esslim wrote a book on it. The famous french playwright used the concept of human prerdicament in his play Waiting for godot where he introduces four main male characters that relies on the man named “Godot” who never appears.. ( maybe he does”t exist at all but he is the symbol of salvation and hope)

Here in Infinity war the six infinity stones together makes the character of godot. Those infinity stones gave Thanos a hope and salvation from which he made half of the universe cease to exist with his snap of his fingers. He killed his only love that was Gamora to fulfill his purpose. Thanos famous line in the begining ” Dread it, run from it…. the destiny still arrives the same” clearly indicates man’s incapability to undo or stop the destiny. That’s why he makes his sole preoccupation to find all six infinity stones to attain the meaning of life……meaninglessness is what Thanos dreaded, according to him it’s not worth to find and cry for food everyday..but still in the end when thanos sits in solitude and watches sunset, it clearly glimpse out the nothingness in his life. He achieved what he wanted and now uncertainity joins the meaninglessness in his life that adds to the theory of existentialism.

And the characters who went up in dust at the end is again the “DEATH” on which the theory of human predicamant” stands.

Thanos the mad titan got the hope and justified his existence and became an instrument who inflicted the curse of human predicament by nullifying the role of destiny..
