Hell And Enslavement In No Exit

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...

Rape Fantasies Margaret Atwood
1,028 words... n this little episode we can see Estelle's honesty and sweetness, since none of the disguised brutality found in the fantasies of the other two women is evident in the story that Estelle reveals. Along with maintaining an ironic balance within Rape Fantasies, Estelle's personality revelations introduce other ideas into the story. Her casual friendly banter can take a complex, weighty topic such as rape and simplify it into one naive workingwoman's thoughts. She mentions growing up as a Catho...

Sexual Perversion Bad Faith

Embedded within the character interactions are many Sartre philosophical themes. Personal attributes serve to demonstrate some of the more dominant ideas in Sartre's writings. Each of the three characters in the play show identifiable characteristics of sexual perversion, bad faith, and interactions of consciousness. This play takes an interesting setting, that of the afte...

Sexual Desire Sexual Perversion
1,514 words... where sexual desire and reciprocity is the only possible solution to the problem. Estelle is continually confronted by Inez, who has already expressed her desire. These advances are rejected outright. Estelle continually "pecks" at Garcin, asking for some spark of interest. Her actions have given us more evidence to Sartre's theory of sexual desire and it's relation to sexual perversion. The most prolific and impressive state of any sexual interaction is that of desire. Unfortunately it is a...

Existentialist Concepts Mere Chance Hell
659 wordsIn his play, No Exit, Jean-Paul Sartre examines basic themes of existentialism through three characters. The first subject, Garcin, embraces existentialist ideas somewhat. The second character, Inez, seems to fully understand ideas deemed existential. Estelle is the third person, and does not seem to understand these ideas well, nor does she accept them when they are first presented to her. One similarity amongst the three is that they all at some point seem to accept that they are in Hell for a...
