Written in 1945, No Exit is a landmark philosophical play by Jean-Paul Sartre. It explores the human condition through the lens of existentialism, examining our entanglement with others.
The story follows three damned souls—postal clerk Inès, Parisian socialite Estelle, and journalist Garcin—locked in a room in hell. Between attraction and repulsion, they form a triangular web of need and rejection, becoming both each other's tormentors and mirrors.
