置身於國際政治權力鬥爭和傳統價值宗教信仰瀕臨崩潰的時代中，卡繆深深感受到人類面對生存之苦境。他終其一生，致力於探討人類對於生存之荒謬情境的不解和痛苦。 雖然卡繆是以小說和論文見長，但其對戲劇的熱愛和投入卻是不容置疑的。本論文旨在探討其最有名的劇本《卡里古拉》，藉由這個劇本來看看卡繆的荒謬主義和置身於荒謬情境下的荒謬英雄。
本論文共分為四章。在第一章的引言中，說明卡繆在戲劇藝術上的成就、創作《卡里古拉》這個劇本的時代背景，以及本論文的研究動機。第二章根據卡謬的《薛西弗斯的神話》來說明卡謬如何詮釋人對於生存之荒謬所產生的形而上的痛苦。當理性的人感受到自己所生存的環境的非理性，就會產生諸如: 被遺棄、沮喪、痛苦、焦慮等等的情緒。第三章分析劇中人物卡里古拉，面對生之荒謬所進行一連串的轉變、殺人、最後被殺的過程和結局。第四章歸結前三章作一結論, 說明藉由這個劇本卡謬所要傳達的意念。

Living in an age in which political powers were struggling between nations, and traditional values as well as religious beliefs were broken down with the destructions of two world wars, Camus deeply sensed the anxieties of men struggling to survive not only in the breakdown of external buildings but also in the collapse of conventional values. In his short life, he passionately explored various ways people confronting with the fact that they live in a world without any meanings. In career as a writer, Camus was better known for his fictions and essays, he himself regarded dramas as his favorite medium, however. This thesis is intended to study his most famous dramas, Caligula, in the light of absurdism and the absurd tragic hero.
The first chapter is a brief introduction to Camus’ theatrical achievements and his writing of Caligula. Chapter Two deals with Camus’ influential essay The Myth of Sisyphus, discussing the relationship between rational man and irrational universe so as to see the central idea of absurdism. It provides an overview of the existential emotions, including forsakenness, despair, anguish and so on. In Chapter Three, I will analyze the dramatization of the greatness and misery of the absurd tragic hero─Caligula, to see some philosophical points. In Chapter Four, I conclusively point out that Camus’ drama is no other than a vehicle for his philosophy.
