Interaction With Other People Characters In No Exit Underground
1,460 wordsIn both Notes From the Underground, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and the play No Exit, by Jean-Paul Sartre, we see that the characters have lost that state of comfort with or acceptance of one's self that is apparent only before interaction with other people. The self-doubt that comes from interactions with others has diminished their dignity, and they see themselves as, or are mainly concerned with, what view they want or think others to have of them. They are ultimately uncomfortable with their live...

These advances are rejected outright. Estelle continually "pecks" at Garcin, asking for some spark of interest.
