No Exit
Summary: I believe the summary of this book is how people torture us. This day and age we let people limit us and put negative thoughts in our heads. We choose to believe other people's opinions rather than just doing your own research and having your way of doing things or your opinions.
Theme: We don't believe in ourselves. We let other people control our actions, thoughts, and words by letting them fill our mind with garbage. Have self confidence.
Tone: The authors tone is very harsh. The way he describes the torture for Estelle, Garcin, and Inez is very cruel and hard. I think just being in one room with the same people everyday can kill a mam. Describing hell even when they don't want to is very harsh also.
Literary Elements:
Symbolism: Hell is supposed to be torture and awful but instead their hell is nice with couches and sofas. Also the torture chamber is just a drawing room.
Diction: The way the characters talk to each other and always bicker and fight is a interesting choice of diction.
Characterization: There are so many different ways of characterization and one is Garcin's lack of confidence. He always ask for other peoples opinions and approval. The protagonists are static because they don't stop the mind games going on by all of them. They go crazy without even realizing they can avoid it.
