Jean-Paul Sartre"s portrayal of Hell in No Exit is fueled with dramatic irony, implemented in order to amuse the reader. Sartre"s illustration of Hades is very psychological, and instead of Satan agonizing you, three roommates take to the task. They each in turn irritate and aggravate one another, thus making themselves hysterical, and thus producing dramatic irony. In addition to a door that will not open, and living in a windowless room, all three characters possess no eyelids, and thus are unable to sleep. For relief, they conspire with one or the other, but that merely plunges them further into...
existentialism would triumph. Sartre subtly praises the existentialism philosophy in this, as he is basically saying, we should all be apathetic and all will be fine. And looking at it from a whole, this is the final ingredient that creates the dramatic irony in the play. In conclusion, No Exit is a play that presents a positive perspective on the existentialism philosophy. Through illustrating three people going mad and incorporating the tenets of existentialism, the reader is hinted that it is better to be apathetic to the absurdity of life, rather then to get all worked up from it.
