This paper discusses the search for meaning. The following pages will detail three examples of this existential search that is so prevalent in literature. A search that the characters themselves are not aware of. Arthur Landau in Chayefsky's The Tenth Man, Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis and the boy in James Joyce's Araby, all share a common bond - they all seek a purpose in life that, heretofore, has eluded them.
