| Malraux_Action (5290 words) |
 | Critics of La Condition Humaine have seldom failed to comment on the importance of action, particularly where the character of Kyo is concerned. |
| Cecil Jenkins, for example, depicts the human condition as the experience of "a dark and airless world … a world where all men are victims, where all are constantly living their death," and this critic goes on to contend that all the characters are seeking some form of Pascalian "divertissement" from this grim predicament. |
| Similarly, Denis Boak describes the human condition as a state of meaningless futility and maintains that "Each one [of the characters] is seeking to escape from the human condition by the creation of his own set of transcendental values". |
