\b0 A one-act play staged for the first time in Paris in May 1944. InΦs, Estelle, and Garc
in are dead and condemned to hell, in the same, simple room where they bring out all their memories and where they divulge the secret reasons for their eternal damnation. InΦs understands that the diabolic tormentor is \i ôeach one for the other twoö\i0
and that \i ôhell is the others.ö\i0 Implacably mechanical machinery that goes on endlessly crushing all before it and destroying all hope. Each of them is shut up in absolute solitude under the terrifying gaze of onlookers who have lost all compassion
even for themselves. Nowhere else did J. P. Sartre paint such a forceful picture of human destiny as he did in\i No Exit\i0 .\par
