Jean Paul Sartre's "No Exit" : (work is also known called
"Hois Clos") In this 8 page paper, the writer argues that the
concept "Hell Is Other People" is the primary theme of
this classic existentialist drama ("No Exit" is a one-act play by
Sartre) and it is just as resonant today as it was more than fifty
years ago. Sartre's existentialist philosophy is examined in
great analytical detail and the paper remains most concerned
with explaining precisely what Sartre meant by "No Exit" and
how it applies to everyone's life. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre : It is commonly believed that
the theme presented by Jean Paul Sartre in his 1944 play, No
Exit was "Hell is other people". By exploring the other
writings of Sartre one can begin to understand that the concept
he was elucidating in the play was the exact opposite of the
externalization of negative emotions. Rather, the play was
another forum he chose in which to answer to the critics of the
philosophy of existentialism. This 5 page paper asserts that the
theme espoused by Sartre is actually the quest for freedom as
defined by the individual's acceptance of oneself and the
choices made throughout one's lifetime. Bibliography lists 3

Jean Paul Sartre’s “The Wall” : A 1 page summary of
Sartre’s short story. It reflects Sartre’s interest in the ultimate
lack of causality in life through the depiction of the “last night”
of a group of prisoners condemned to die in the morning. The
narrator in fact does not die, but he might as well have, because
he has psychologically been absorbed into the wall separating
life from death, and there is no going back. No sources.

Visions of Hell and Utopia in Sartre, Voltaire, and More :
A 5 page paper discussing whether the three condemned
characters of Sartre’s play would have had a more productive
life in More’s “Utopia” or Voltaire’s “Eldorado” (from
“Candide”). The paper concludes that despite the fact that the
most famous line from “No Exit” is Garcin’s exclamation that
“Hell is other people,” Hell is really in yourself, and no
physical Utopian surroundings can transform it into heaven. No
