"No Exit" intrigued me, left me going, "Uh... Interesting". Hell is other people?
Although, I fully disagree with the author's hell, it was a very interesting picture. After all other people can very well seem like hellish torturers. I got chills thinking about be locked inside a room forever with two people who knew my flaws, and knew how to use that against me. It does seem like a hellish picture, forever never having rest, constantly having those people jabbing at you. What was the author's meaning here?
Was he trying to make a point? All three of the characters were cowards or disrespected human life. I mean a mother drowned her own baby! They also all did it for their selfish selves, either to protect themselves or empower themselves. To me, I felt the author was trying to say, respect other humans no matter who or what they are.
P.S. Commented on Kelsey's post
Honestly that picture of hell is so different from any other concept I've even imagined... it was both refreshing and disturbing. It brings me back to Lord of the Flies (maybe this is a little off base) how human nature really isn't so great when you think about it. I agree I think that the author was trying to emphasize how terrible and cruel people are to other people.But yes I think he's absolutely making a statement on respect for human life.
