Abstract:

This article examines the theme of suicide in literature through the lenses of three influential figures: Martha Nussbaum, Sharon Olds, and David Foster Wallace. Each author provides a unique perspective on the complexities of suffering, trauma, and existential despair. By analyzing their works, this study aims to illuminate how literature serves as a powerful medium for exploring the psychological and ethical dimensions of suicide, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of human suffering.
