So let me say first of all, being out of class stinks. And being sick stinks. Being out keeps me from gleaning from the observations in the classroom and hearing different perspectives on our reading. With that being said, I want to give my two cents about some of the things I saw in No Exit.
One of the more obvious things to mention is Inez, Garcin, and Estelle. These people are eternally doomed to be in the same room as one another. They all are trying to hide the reason each is in the room, but they eventually fess up.What I think is interesting about this situation is that even after death, pride and arrogance are still among these folks. They even look for mirrors in the room to get away from each other's constant stare of judgement. I think Sarte intended them to be this way to help illustrate his straight-forward approach in philosophy. It boils down to the fact that they had to face the truth, and could no longer hide behind themselves or their wrong doings.
