I began to think about some of the things we talked about in class about No Exit, and one thing really stuck out to me when i reread the story. There is a line on page 10 when Inez is talking about being afraid and she says, "What would be the use? There was some point in being afraid before, while one still had hope." If we are to look at the play without using our Christian views, what would they have had hope in, even if they were alive?
Without a Christian belief, there would be no hope, the only thing they could have had hope in was the fact that they were not yet dead. So, whether or not we are supposed to look at No Exit with our Christian views, I see no way that we could get by without them.
P.S. I posted on Danielle's...
The only sense of hope that they could have would be in each other, and even that isn't possible. Judgement is cast between the three, even though they are all guilty of some kind of wrong doing.
