I'm glad someone else posted this. The point of the essay is that Sisyphus is fulfilled and Happy. Sisyphus being miserable at the meaningless and futility of his torment wouldn't really require an essay.

Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.
