This horror and all these useless gestures, this grotesque adventure is ours. We must live it. Death is absurd also.

In this line Anouilh voices an existential, anti-heroic view of human life: our experience is marked by “horror,” futility, and theatrical “gestures” that can seem ridiculous when measured against the inevitability of death. Calling the adventure “ours” insists on ownership and endurance rather than escape—whatever meaning exists must be lived through, not explained away. The final sentence (“Death is absurd also”) refuses to grant death a consoling grandeur or moral resolution; it is not a tidy conclusion that redeems suffering, but another irrational fact. The effect is to strip away romantic narratives and confront the audience with the bleak comedy of existence.
