Abstract. This article explores the aesthetics of the absurd in the plays of Edward Albee, one of the most influential American dramatists of the 20th century. Through an analysis of selected works, particularly The Zoo Story and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, the study examines how Albee incorporates elements of absurdism such as existential anxiety, breakdown of communication, and the illusion of reality. The paper follows the IMRAD structure to investigate how absurd aesthetics function both as a stylistic device and as a philosophical framework in Albee’s dramatic world.
