Chronicle To Books No Exit

Jean-Paul Sartre, the great French existentialist, displays his mastery of drama in NO EXIT, an unforgettable portrayal of hell.
The play is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for all eternity. It is the source of Sartre's especially famous and often misinterpreted quotation "L'enfer, c'est les autres" or "Hell is other people", a reference to Sartre's ideas about the Look and the perpetual ontological struggle of being caused to see oneself as an object in the world of another consciousness.

Commentary Based On Books No Exit

A single room with Second Empire furniture (no mirrors, no windows, three sofas, one paper knife, lights that won't go off), and no torturer. Accompanied by a mysterious valet, three incredulous characters (Inez Serrano, Estelle Rigault, and Joseph Garci) are escorted inside and are eternally locked away within its walls. At first, no one wants to admit what each has committed to deserve this damnation, but as the play progresses, they confess their crimes their deepest, darkest secrets exposed

I liked the concept, I liked the idea, I like a philosophical play, but literary speaking, this could be way more exciting if it was written by Albert Camus. I totally agree with the key line_HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE, but the writing wasn't breathtaking. I wish it was.Also the characters were kind of boring. They could have been different people and their dialogues could have made the reader produce more 'wow's and 'dammit's. I cannot help thinking this play is an unfulfilled idea, written by

huis clos = No Exit, Jean-Paul SartreNo Exit (French: Huis Clos) is a 1944 existentialist French play by Jean-Paul Sartre. The original title is the French equivalent of the legal term in camera, referring to a private discussion behind closed doors. The play was first performed at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier in May 1944. The play begins with three characters who find themselves waiting in a mysterious room. It is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by

Hell is other people!That statement is beyond doubt the most famous of Satre's. However, it is only after one is acquainted with No Exit does one realise how grossly misinterpreted that statement is. In the context of this play, the statement is not misanthropic. It highlights a symptom of the condition that is life. Perhaps this quote, where Estelle peers into the eyes of Inez for the lack of a mirror, characterizes Satre's iconic quote better.Your scare me rather. My reflection in the glass



There's no need for red-hot pokers. HELL IS-OTHER PEOPLE!

The gist of No Exit is this: three people are put in a room. The interesting thing about the room is, it's Hell. And what's really interesting about Hell is -- there's no torture devices, no devouring flames, it's just a trio of insufferable people left to themselves.The premise is pretty genius. The setting, a Second Empire drawing room, a tastelessly opulent room basically panders to me. It seems like Jean-Paul Sartre is using the setting as a statement, to say something is wrong with the
