... ion. In each case the activity is kept hidden
(since it is illegal) and makes money-or saves it
when tax fraud or evasion is involved -- for the
person who carries it out. The female subjects of
the study are as equally marginalized as their
male counterparts. However, the fact of their

such comes to terms with the present moment.
Suicide consents to the absurd as final and
limitless while revolt is a an ongoing struggle
with the absurd and brings with it man's
redemption. One can see now why Sisyphus is the
