”Although Kierkegaard and Camus share similar thoughts on human existence, Camus seeks to undermine this partnership by instead opposing himself to Kierkegaard. In “The Myth of Sisyphus” Camus charges Kierkegaard with escaping the absurd and finding refuge in God. Yet… it has been shown that Kierkegaard’s philosophy is filled with an unceasing struggle that lacks the reassurance of the eternal. The uncertainties in life will always remain as such so long as the individual is existing. Similarly, Camus’ absurd hero struggles with the same type of tension- the divorce between man and his universe, - which he knows can never be reconciled. Therefore, both Sisyphus and Abraham are left alone at the foot of their respective mountains.
Rejecting all claims that seek to lure them with empty promises of objective truth and reassurance, they slowly tread their lonesome path. Placed in the extremity of existence, they know nothing other than passion and the paradox.

wow. I was writing a paper on this and this lady whose paper I found online, basically agrees with me.
