As for Ionesco, “man is lost; all his actions become senseless, absurd, useless” (Esslin 331). The life of a modern person seems empty, and people's actions create nothing. It seems that the only thing these people do is look back, talking about their regrets and sorrows without making a single effort to change the way they exist. In this regard, Jean-Paul Sartre wrote that “man is the being through which Nothingness comes into the world” (Sartre 59). It became the dominant aspect of human identity throughout the modernist period. Writers worry about the lack of purpose or aspirations. However, this absence does not mean a lack of meaning but rather the presence of powers that can no longer be felt by people. On the contrary, in “Bliss” something is present, there is an inner feeling of blessing but the woman “did not know how to express it, what to do with it” (Mansfield). Consequently, one of the problems related to the representation of identity in this situation is that of finding reality. An individual tends not to be able to correspond to reality and he creates his own. For example, the Old Man in Ionesco's drama had a message to communicate to the world but "was never understood" (Ionesco 19). His way of expressing himself was not understandable to others; so he was waiting for Orator to come and explain everything. It was the same with Manfield's Bertha. She felt the blessing, but she still didn't know what to do or how to express it. Thus, the reality of both characters lay in their inability to conform to it as well as to break into reality. Their ideas and feelings seemed to be their reality. But it was impossible for them to enter into reality.
