Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| ''"This bronze. Yes, now's the moment; I'm looking at this thing on the mantelpiece, and I understand that I'm in [[Hell]]. I tell you, everything's been thoughtout beforehand. They knew I'd stand at the fireplace stroking this thing of bronze, with all those eyes intent on me. Devouring me. What? Only two of you? I thought there were more; many more. So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. [[Fire and Brimstone Hell\|You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the burning marl,]] [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions\|Old wives' tales! There’s no need for red-hot pokers.]] [[It Was His Sled\|HELL IS--OTHER PEOPLE!]]"''}} A classic play by [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] that's highly popular in [[~~Useful Notes/Existentialism\|~~Existentialism]], '''''No Exit''''' is('''''Huis anClos''''') is ~~often~~a darkly comic look at the [[Self-Inflicted Hell]] faced by its three [[Villain Protagonist\|protagonists]]. They are [[Dirty Coward\|Garcin]], an insecure journalist; Ines, a [[Psycho Lesbian\|lesbian]] postal clerk, and Estelle, a [[Stepford Smiler\|beautiful]] [[Yandere\|and charming]] young aristocrat. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== Contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Badass Pacifist]]: Garcin thinks he's this, but he's really a [[Dirty Coward]]. * [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Estelle Line 20: * [[Jerkass]]: The three of them in life, which comes to be used as their mutual hell. * [[Mundane Afterlife]] * [[One-Scene Wonder]]: The only other character in the play is the Valet, a [[Servile Snarker]] and presumably a demon, who is basically [[The Screwtape Letters\|Screwtape]] [[X Meets Y\|meets]] [[The Marriage of Figaro ~~(Theatre)~~\|Figaro]]. * [[Psycho Lesbian]]: Ines, it's never out right stated that she's a lesbian, but it's pretty clear she is, and she's plenty psycho. * [[Sealed Room in ~~The~~the Middle of Nowhere]]: The play's setting. {{spoiler\|As it turns out, it doesn't even ''have'' to be sealed.}} * [[Self-Inflicted Hell]]: Literally, there is no need for [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]] because "Hell is other people". {{spoiler\|Made even more poignant by the fact that the protagonists are given several opportunities to escape during the play, but are held back every time by their own flaws, fears and anxieties. Not only is hell other people, but its security system is ''yourself''.}} * [[Triang Relations]]: Type 4, though describing it as a ''love'' triangle might be a bit too kind. * [[Villainous Breakdown]]: The Play. * [[Villain Protagonist]]: All of the characters. * [[Write Who You Know]]: Garcin is based on the author, Jean-Paul Sartre. Ines is based on his long-term significant other, feminist [[Simone de Beauvoir]]. * [[Yandere]]: Estelle was displeased by one of her lovers, so she took a horrible revenge {{spoiler\|by throwing their child off a balcony in front of him}}. * [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]]: Inverted: During the play, the characters have visions of life progressing without them on Earth, and it seems like unlike usual Hells in which an eternity is actually a second, what feels like a brief time in Hell is actually several months on the outside.
