Commentary As 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 Containing Books No Exit

I read No Exit in English and French and saw the play while studying in France. In par with Sartre's idea of freedom, we create heaven and hell today, in this life on earth, by other's judgments of our acts. "Hell is the other", the phrase encapsulating heaven and hell, I found quite to the point. The 'other's' eyes pierce into my head, judging and shaping who I am, which I must escape, through my freedom to choose. No Exit is a simple and yet powerful play, which defined Petan's (northeren)

I read this mostly because it inspired my favorite Twilight Zone episode. (Guess!)Genius. That's all I have to say.And whoever wrote all over this library book actually provided some insight. Sothank you? I guess?

I read this in HS and still think of this sometimes in reference to people's relationships and group dynamics. Probably need to visit No Exit again.

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

Hell may very well be a room where you will spend eternity with grating and self-absorbed people, all while sitting atop uncomfortable "Second Empire" furniture.This was pretty great. I haven't read a play in some time - quite a bit of Greek tragedy as an undergrad, and then the requisite Shakespeare and some Miller back in high school. This was very different in style - funny, absurd, and thought-provoking - and I quite enjoyed it.--Read for Book Riot's 2016 Read Harder Challenge - a play

Brilliant! The hell as we have probably never imagined it. Perhaps the first piece of existentialist writing that didn't literally give me a headache. Really, something to get back to every now and then.
