عن تصور سارتر للجحيم
والذي ليس بالضرورة ان يكون نارا وأداوت تعذيب
من الممكن ان يتعذب الانسان بكونه كائن بشري بأساليب اخرى
كونه يعرف ما يدور حوله على الارض ولا يستطيع المشاركة
بتواجده ليرد عنه اتهام او غيبة
او حتى لإصلاح وضع ما خطأ
او أن يعذب امرأة بعدم وجود مرآة
لتتأكد من ان شكلها على ما يرام

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.

Every time I pick up something by Existentialist authors, I’m reminded of how much they closely border upon my thoughts on life. The play centers around three characters who are trapped in a room after being dead for several hours and begin conversing about each other’s idea of why they’ve landed there which they think is essentially the hell.

Shakespeare has quoted once, " All the devils of hell are on the earth". This novel goes on the same bottom line where he depicts a picture of hell, in which he shows three peoples who dies, and then they enters the hell. There were two ladies and one man. All the three peoples were kept in a same room. There was nothing else in the room except few paintings. There was a switch so that in case if they require any thing or any sort of assistance, then can buzz the alarm by switching, but it was not really working, so it was futile to have it.

As all three introduces each other, and all three acknowledge that they were duped by people on earth about the concept and idea of hell. As they were expecting some sort of eternal purgatory where the King of hell will torment peoples with various freaky and vicious technique for their wrong done on the earth. It turns out to be totally different for them.

In this novel, all the peoples begin conversation with each other by posing question to each other about their reason for in hell. As no one tells the truth, may be, it is human nature to hide. They all knew that none have put out the truth. This conversation leads to fight among the threes, finally man concludes that hell is not what has been told to us but hell is nothing but we people, we act as hell to each other, we make the life of others hell, as we don't have any exit to the room, it becomes hell for all three, novel ends with the raucous and fighting amongst all three.

If you are a pro-pounder of Individualism, you will find this novel interesting as well as informative, in terms of how other peoples act as part of hell.

Read the book and enjoy, as it is a work of Jean-Paul-Sartre, one will find it more philosophical in content, hence one needs to read it as a good reader, it will require the reader to ponder on the words for few seconds as some time reader will find that it has the straight meaning the statement but it is true, his ideas make allusion various other collateral ideas which are necessary to understand. Give some time and read the book. (less)

Epic! witty and amazing! I have to say, Sartre is a genius. A straight-forward some how confusing and complicated analysis on human behavior, though Existentialism focus on the individuals only, and this explains why there isn't many people involved. A man and two women die and get stuck in what is presumably to be Hell. If you notice when Garcin told the two other women to be quite and just think by themselves, I bet this was the best way to overcome their tragedy, but guess what? the last thin...more

The play opens on Garcin, a man damned for eternity. He is lead to a plain room with no mirrors or beds, only three couches and poor decorating. Like the two women that arrive after him, Inez and Estelle, he wonders why there are no torturing devices in Hell as expected. However, once the three start in conversation, they realize that they have been chosen to torture each other. Though one might assume they do this by annoying and angering each other, this is only a fraction of their ability to make the other two suffer. What really proves to be torturous is how they break down each other's facades and lies, and make them examine their own unacceptable failings. Upon arrival, each is unwilling to admit why they were damned or offer any honesty about their former lives on Earth. Each character fears judgement from the other two, and therefore attempts to hide their failings, even from themselves. The absence of mirrors in the room intensifies this fear by symbolically not allowing each character to judge themselves, but only be seen by others. Garcin's cowardice, Inez's vindictiveness, and Estelle's vanity are all revealed by the end of the play. All three have defined their own characteristics in life, and find it unbearable to take responsibility for their choices. Resisting their own ability to define themselves, they rely on their roommates to judge them and point out the flaws they have created themselves. The conflicting fear of others' judgement and self-judgement is the torture they all must face. Almost everyone can relate to this conflict. We find it difficult to be honest with ourselves about our shortcomings, even though we create them ourselves. In addition, feeling judged by others is can cause insecurity in even the most confident person. It all comes down to how we let ourselves be defined: either at our own hand or those around us. Existentialist works of literature, such as The Stranger by Albert Camus, argue that we choose our own paths and must take responsibility for them in order to achieve peace within. If the characters in 'No Exit' could only realize that they have determined their own fates and accept that they alone have the right to define who they are, "other people" might not be so torturous after all.

No Exit is a story about three average people, but all of them sinned in some way or another in their lives. Because of this, they're doomed to spend the rest of eternity together in a big, fancy-built room in Hell. They all knew they sinned, but for some reason, they ignored their sins and instead focused on other events in their lives, which bothered them more than their actual sins.

The play spends a few lines extolling existentialist philosophy and maybe surprisingly to you some traditional virtues like courage and honesty.

This story is very different than most books I've read for class, as well as most books that came out at the same time (in the 1940s).

Insidious. This play, although set in the afterlife, brings to mind an array of purely human horrors. Nothing supernatural, just all the ways in which we torment and torture each other. By depicting hell in this way, the author seems to suggest that life itself is a trap-- we're all damned. The potential for evil is universal. You can't help but think of the Stanford prison experiment, or Stanley Milgram's experiment on obedience to authority. Except, in this scenario, there is no authority requ...more

The idea that two people can drive you absolutely batshit is incredibly resonant, especially when compared to the fact that you can also drive those two people absolutely batshit in turn.

No Exit is a one act play in which hell is depicted much more differently than the stereotypical eternal pit of fire. Sartre uses three flawed characters, who feed off of each other, to illustrate the existentialist idea that "Hell is other people" and that you are your life and nothing else.

Ich finde es zugegebenermaßen sehr schwierig, Klassiker zu bewerten. Natürlich stehe ich dazu, wenn mir ein Werk nicht gefallen hat, aber ich zweifle häufig auch an meiner Leseart. Habe ich vielleicht überlesen, was der Autor vermitteln will? Bin ich zu schlecht im Interpretieren? Oder bin ich einfach zu jung, um das Buch gut zu finden? Was Buchkritiken angeht, bin ich ein Laie, das ist mir bewusst. Doch auch wenn die Zweifel da sind, möchte ich es mir nicht nehmen lassen, hier auch den einen oder anderen Klassiker zu bewerten.

Sartres Stück „Geschlossene Gesellschaft“ besticht erneut durch Kürze und Einfachheit, endend mit der gesellschaftskritischen Botschaft. Ich persönlich finde es genial, die Hölle als einen Raum zu beschreiben, dem drei einander fremde Menschen – ein Mann und zwei Frauen - zugeteilt werden, die aus diesem harmlosen Raum erst dadurch eine „Hölle“ erschaffen, dass sie nur darauf achten, wie die jeweils anderen beiden die eigene Person wahrnehmen. Dadurch entsteht ein innerer Konflikt der Personen, der droht, zu eskalieren.
Ich finde nach wie vor, dass Sartre einen guten Schreibstil hat, doch mir hat in der Handlung ein bisschen was gefehlt. Der Höhepunkt war vorhanden, das Ende leider ernüchternd. Mir hat der „Aha!“-Effekt gefehlt, obwohl ich die Botschaft verstanden habe. Außerdem konnte ich mich mit den Charakteren nicht identifizieren, sie waren mir zu grob dargestellt. Natürlich gehört das zum Stück und jeder Charakter gibt nur ein bisschen von sich Preis, doch ein paar Seiten und somit auch Informationen mehr hätten durchaus nicht geschadet.
Demnach denke ich nicht, dass „Geschlossene Gesellschaft“ von nun an zu meinen Lieblingsklassikern gehören wird, doch bereichernd war es dennoch. Wer sich mal an Sartre versuchen will, dem kann ich dieses Stück durchaus empfehlen, doch sein Stück „Das Spiel ist aus“ hat mir im Vergleich besser gefallen. Auch, wenn die Bewertung sehr schwierig ist, vergebe ich 3,5 von 5 Punkten.(less)
