(The play is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters
are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity)
“So that is what hell is.
I would never have believed it.
You remember: the fire and brimstone, the torture.
Ah! the farce. There is no need for torture:
Hell is other people.”
{Garcin, Act 1, sc. 5}
