  • Essay / Perspectives on hell in No Exit by Jean Sartre - 1017

    Do you have an identity without this society? Hell is not about suffering or punishment. Hell is the society in which we live. The people around us make our life in hell or heaven our place. People around us make our lives miserable by judging our actions. The society we live in likes to judge our actions and take them to a different level where we have lost our identity and live with the misunderstanding of what people say about us. In No Exit, by Paul Jean carries the broader idea of ​​hell. other people. The setting of the play takes place in a hell where three characters Garcin, Inez are in hell interminably. Inez is quite an evil spirit who likes to judge others. Estelle is concerned about her appearance and she wants to stand out. Estelle sees herself in a mirror in order to be able to exist herself: “When I didn’t see myself, I began to wonder if I really existed” (19). Estelle lacks self-confidence but as there is no mirror in hell, Inez plays the role of mirror for Estelle. Inès says: “I am your lark, my darling, and you cannot escape me” (21). Inez metaphorically plays the role of society in the play, Inez judges Estelle and plays with her throughout the play. The tired-minded Garcin wants others to call him brave instead of a coward. Inez calls Garcin a coward because of his past. Garcin hears the others calling him a coward and loses confidence in himself: “They won't forget me, not them! They will die but others will come after them to perpetuate the legend. I left my fate in their hands. »(39). Garcin's destiny and identity are lost and he admits that he is a coward. Garcin wants someone to depend on him and trust him: "Thousands of them proclaim that I am a coward but what... in the middle of a paper... is a big problem which is the lack. of education and students commit suicide and drop out of school. Likewise, people's comments calling Garcin a coward and Estelle a baby killer devalue their identities. And they live with being called cowards and baby killers and they can't escape society and live alone. We have the power to stand up to society and think positively. Not everyone on this earth lives a hell of a life. Works Cited Sartre, Jean. No way out. International vintage edition. New York: Vintage International, 1989. Print. Camus, Albert and Matthew Ward.
