Narration Supposing Books No Exit and Three Other Plays

Hell is not other people. Hell is any holiday dinner with relatives. Fashionable in the 50s, and still required reading in prep schools and many colleges, Sartre's play - once ventilated - is a discursive product of Dada and Existentialism mixed with Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and a lot of Pernod. In the mid-40s it made him the darling of the boozoisie in Montparnasse. Actually, he was inspired by Wedekind and Strindberg. An interesting thinker, Sarte here overlooks his own contradictions : though each man is his own hell, he states, hell is -- hold on ! -- other people. With 3 characters, this play is a fav among college drama depts and many regional theatres. The original Broadway production in 1946 was directed x John Huston and had, we're told, a superb set by the artist Frederick Kiesler. It also had an adaptation x Paul Bowles. Others must be avoided. ~ Competing with Ethel Merman in Annie Get Your Gun, Margaret Rutherford as OWs Lady Bracknell and Ingrid Bergman in a paraphrase of St Joan, it vanished after 4 weeks. But Sartre, the playwright manque, still lingers as he examines our loneliness in a bleak, disinterested world. More importantly, he foreshadows the absurdist work of Beckett, Ionesco and Pinter.

Judge Containing Books No Exit and Three Other Plays

Liked No Exit. Didnt like the others.

A brief one-act that seems much longer than it really is. Alternately horrible and funny, it's Sartre's take on Hell, which can be described as such: a small hotel room with no windows or mirrors, a door that is usually locked, and three couches. Three people - Garcin, Ines, and Estelle - are all brought to this room by what I can only guess is a bellboy. (I read this in French, so forgive any factual errors that I missed as a reult of that) Everyone keeps asking, "Where's the torturer?" because

The second book I read is No Exit by Jean Paul Satre. I thought this book was really psychological and reminded me of a lot of things. In the book 3 people were brought to this place where there was thing but them. The theme of the book was to be yourself and not let anyone judge you. People do not make who you are, you are yourself. The 3 protagonists were unable to get pass peoples opinions so they were unable to leave. In life I think everyone cares about what others think of them. The only

I guess Im in the midst of an existential questioning. Then I picked up "No Exit and Three Other Plays, and it became a full-blown crisis. I would walk to my neighbor and ask him, Do you think Im useless? Am I a bad person? What do I stand for? What is the purpose of all this? Poor guy.So this is hell. Id never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the burning marl. Old wives tales! Theres no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is other

Sartre has very good ideas. I love reading Theatre of the Absurd. Existence precedes essence. Three damned souls are brought to hell by a mysterious valet, but it's not what they expected. Sartre depicts hell as a Second Empire style room in bad taste, not fire and torture devices. I love this idea!!! Garcin, Inez, and Estelle torture each other with judgement since they have nothing in common, and they are unlikeable. "Hell is other people" means that judgement is eternal punishment. I found it

Read in college for a Philosophy class. This is where the expression "Hell is other people" comes from.

The book I read is simply titled Three Plays. I couldn't find this particular copy listed on Goodreads. It doesn't contain "No Exit," but contains "Dirty Hands," "The Respectful Prostitute," and "The Victors." All three plays deserve 5 stars and were quite entertaining. They reflect his philosophies of existentialism, freedom, and "bad faith." Many of the characters try to find life's meaning in the midst of adversity, and the concept of freedom is expressed by their indecision in desperate
