All of the following are elements of absurdist fiction except: . the characters are controlled by menacing forces
the characters exchange illogical and irrational dialogue
the characters communicate a theme of hope for mankind.
the characters are caught in hopelessly exaggerated situations.

The answer is “The characters communicate a theme of hope for mankind.”

Absurdist fictions are fictions that deal on the experiences of people when they are in a certain point of their life where they can’t find their purpose of life. They are often funny and sometime irrational; they are always caught on situations wherein they don’t even know how to handle.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
