• Joseph Ikhenoba deposited Self-Hegemony and Rationalization in No Exit by Jean Paul Satre on Humanities Commons 2 years, 10 months ago

    Many of the existentialist themes addressed in Jean-Paul Sartre’s philosophical work Being and Nothingness are explored in his play No Exit. No Exit primarily emphasizes the concepts of objectification, bad faith, the appearance of others, and competitive subjectivity. Three characters from the play who were imprisoned in Hell were compelled to accept this idea. Garcin, Inez, and Estelle respond in a variety of ways, ranging from embracing the excruciating agony of freedom to maliciously running away from it. The play ends that hell is just other people, so there is no need for torture methods or scalding flames, giving an impression that man’s decisions affects his existence.
