Concluding Remarks
In Macbeth (Act V,Scene V),Shakespeare noted that the inevitability of death may render life nothing more than a "tale/ Told by an idiot,full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing," and a number of perspectives (e.g.,Becker,1973) would agree that the awareness of death has the potential to undermine the very signif¬icance of existence.Yet the present research suggests that not everyone is subject to this type of dread.Indeed,individuals dispositionally inclined toward stable and unambiguous interpre¬tations of the world seem to acquire a bolstered sense of meaning when thinking about the finitude of personal existence.Individuals not so disposed,on the other hand,do experience threats to the meaning of existence but appear to be able to overcome these threats when given the opportunity to actively explore unfamiliar and novel interpretations of both the world and themselves.Per¬haps,then,if we return to the quotation that opened this article,it was the exploration of novelty through his creative works that allowed Tolstoy to avoid the unraveling of life's meaning upon confrontation with the inescapable reality of mortality.
