{{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 [[Existentialism]], '''''No Exit'''''
{{tropelist}}
* [[Badass Pacifist]]: Garcin thinks he's this, but he's really a [[Dirty Coward]].
Line 27:
* [[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.
