Racing at night going One-hundred and forty miles an hour on US-27 holding the lead, Shift six gear, speed topped out at two-hundred miles per hour passing by cars smoothly.

Contemplating Sartre's No Exit   In No Exit, Sartre provides a compelling answer to the problem of other minds through the medium of drama. He puts two women (Inez and Estelle) in one hotel room with one man (Garcin) for all of eternity. This is his concept of hell, and he makes this point in one of the last few lines of the play: "Hell is--other people!" There are no torture racks or red-hot pitchforks in hell because they're after "an economy of man-power--or devil-power if you prefer

These three characters cannot accept their existentialist condition: they are alone

Decisions, Decisions In Jean-Paul Sartre’s play No Exit, three different characters, Joseph Garcin, Inez Serrano and Estelle Rigault are portrayed together in hell. Although in hell for different reasons, the common thread that binds them is the fact that they all chose to make undeniably terrible decisions in their past lives. These characters unequivocally believed that the decisions they made while they were living, should not constitute their being sent to hell. They believed that the punishments

Hell. The four lettered word that trembles in the throats of men and children alike; The images of suffering, flame pits and blood, the smell of burning flesh, the shrieking of those who have fallen from grace. For centuries man has sought out ways to cleanse his soul, to repent for his sins and possibly secure his passage into paradise, all evoked by the fear of eternal damnation and pain. The early 20th century philosopher and existentialist writer Jean-Paul Sartre saw life as an endless realm

As stated earlier, man is an autonomous individual. Our freedom of choice determines what we make of ourselves. In the duration of Sartre’s play, No Exit, we are observed to three major characters serving their afterlife in hell together. Inez, one of the major characters, serves her afterlife from committing suicide with her lesbian lover concluding an affair with a woman’s husband. Her actions, in the play, overlook what is considered to be an important example of how we are completely in control
