Abstract
This study attempts to analyze about the life of the main character, Tracy Whitney, in If Tomorrow Comes by Sidney Sheldon based on Albert Camus’ absurdism. Absurdism is defined as the confrontation between human and the world. The condition of Tracy Whitney’s life that is changed from harmonious life into miserable life becomes the main focus in this study. Tracy has lost everything she had in her previous life that makes her life in absurd situation. This study aims to describe about the characterization of the main character, the portrayal of the absurdity in the main character’s life, and the consequence from the absurdity in the main character’s life. The researcher is using two theories in analyzing the study, absurdism as the main theory and new criticism as the supporting theory. The results shows that the main character has three characteristics; independent, courageous, and intelligent. The life of the main character that suddenly changes is found as an absurd situation. The feeling of hopelessness and alienated makes the life of the main character becomes absurd. Moreover, in the consequence from the absurd situation the main character chooses to revolt and becomes a thief.
