Abstract: The Blind Owl (1937) is the novel in which the pains and sorrows of the narrator are presented in the monolingual way. The narrator has become prey of anguish and agony. Present study is conducted to understand the notion of human existence as presented in the novel The Blind Owl. The study is qualitative and the adopted framework of analysis is of Kierkegaard (as cited in Rempel, Gerhard, 1959, and in Copleston, 1963). The results of the study show that pains and sorrows lead humans towards a state of alienation, agony and anguish, then a human accepts death as the relief from the pains and sorrows.
