Yismake Worku’s Telmid explores existentialism through its deep philosophical themes, character struggles, and introspective narrative. While the novel itself is complex, it reflects key existentialist ideas such protagonist of Telmid embarks on a journey of self-discovery, questioning societal norms and seeking a personal purpose, much like the existentialist idea that meaning is not given but must be created by the individual. The novel highlights the responsibility of individuals to make their own choices in a world that offers no predefined purpose. Telmid presents characters who feel disconnected from society, struggling with existential loneliness. This mirrors the existentialist idea that individuals often feel estranged in an absurd world. This book might also explore themes of absurdity, where life appears meaningless, and characters must either accept this or rebel against it by crafting their own significance.
