Abstract: The works of Literature other than giving an expression to the thoughts of the author are implicit with the deeper connotative meanings that at first aren't as apparent as the meanings initially inferred by the reader but after a careful consideration of the respective work, the seemingly shrouded revelations camouflaged within the language that can adequately describe the inner wrestlings of the author's mind are transpired before the audience. The writers of Literature who couldn't harmonize their inner tumults, couldn't help but reveal them in their works either. This investigation intends to scrutinize their principal vexations that forced them into a rejection of the force that underpins all of the existence through the philosophical ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer thus broadening the scope for a more thorough enquiry of the human nature and its association with the contemporary literature.

Keywords: Existence, Pessimism, Schopenhauer, Existential, Modernism, Postmodernism, Irrational.
