Essay --
Existentialism is a complicated and divers(prenominal) desexualize of theories and beliefs. Jean Paul Sartres beliefs are very compound as well in how he conveys them to the reader. He firmly believes that the actions of the person should be what they are and that the outside world should not shape a person. Through his touch No Exit, each character would come to be a key point in existentialism, authenticity, angst and absurdity.The definition of authenticity is to cognize oneself, accept it and be true to it. One major display of authenticity is the character of Inez and how she acts. The way she holds herself is very true to existentialism and that is due to her authenticity. She knows the mannequin of person that she used to be and even said it herself, I was what around people down there called a damned bitch. Damned already. So its no surprise, being here.(p. 25). With this response, Sartre shows that Inez acknowledges her mistakes and flaws, she truly knows herself. T his is a very muster out way of thought. It has much leeway into what a person could decide to do with their life or not and Inez decided to do whatever she set her mind to. She accepts what she has done she even says You know, I dont distress a thing (p. 25) and even embraces it, as her actions were practically a opus of who she was as a whole. She does not care how she comes off to others, even if she is instead cruel (p. 26), she does what she wants and is how she wants to be. Another factor of authenticity shown is the rejection of stereotypes. For example, human feeling and spillage along with social norms pertaining to the consoling of those that are sad are what would be expected of a person in normal society however Inez goes on to say Human feeling. That is beyond my range. I... ... Absurd was the heart Garcin came to realize about the room and Estelle and Inez. Overall, No Exit is a immense work on part of Jean-Paul Sartre. In it he was able to acknowledge at lea st three of the very key facets of his beliefs in existentialism. They were Authenticity, Angst, and finally, The Absurd. The play had various examples in and of itself but most of them came from the characters and their behavior. Each character had a personality that fit very well into the certain mold that was a part of existentialism. Inez was sure of herself and who she was, Estelle was afraid to make any decision that could work out her as a person and finally Garcin took away or added centre to the scheme of things. Sartres No Exit brought all of these facets together in a very cohesive fashion and overall showed how Existentialism croupe bring the best and the worst out of people.
