The resources available to us are not limited. We strongly wish to excel, but it is more difficult when we find ourselves in an adamant world. It makes life for some people unexciting. That is in addition to a life that is ruled by uncertainties and in which we ponder over its meaninglessness. These conditions are presented to us in literature and in real life, In both spheres, it resonates in the life of Medza in Mission to Kala by Mongo Beti. Medza makes a circular journey; from attainment to throwing away everything and is taken back to a state of emptiness by his unexpected action. Fate places him in a position of advantage, where he is like a chosen one. He hardly lifts any of his acquisitions for his comfort. What is diagnosed is existentialism. Readers are left in bafflement, nonetheless. The events raise posers. It becomes clear that man’s life is one of endless tortures. Therefore, this essay attempts analyses and interpretations of the novel under study in the realm of existentialism. The objective of the study is to portray that literature is life and can be used to solve societal problems, as well as launch one to a better understanding of self, life and society. The undertaking is informed by misrule in various societies as well as frictions in human relations, the bulk of the materials is sourced from books, newspaper and journal articles. Text-based analysis is adopted in the project.
