Survival is a fundamental aspect of human existence, encompassing biological, psychological, and environmental challenges. It extends beyond mere physical endurance and has been a prominent literary theme across cultures and historical periods. In extreme circumstances such as pandemics, literary depictions of survival reflect human adaptability and complex moral and ethical dilemmas. Pandemics serve as existential catalysts that force individuals to confront absurdity and meaninglessness. Amidst outbreaks when global communities are engaged with unprecedented challenges, literature becomes a means of documenting experiences, questioning existing societal structures and exploring emotional and philosophical survival implications. This work aims to demonstrate how crisis narratives in Jack London’s novel The Scarlet Plague shape an understanding of human tenacity, vulnerability and hope. By analyzing the protagonist’s journey and his confrontation with the chaotic remnants of human society, this study investigates how London’s novel engages with existential inquiries regarding human instincts and their will to survive in a world where traditional structures of meaning have disintegrated. It further explores the multifaceted dimensions of existentialism amidst suffering, examining its historical and contemporary meanings, and analyzing how societies have adapted to pandemic conditions.
