It is not a very difficult play, if you concentrate on your reading. Read it carefully, as if it were a story, and then answer your questions.|||Hell is other people.





Because at the crux of it all.... alliances are fleeting, peace treaties are temporary, ceasefires are brief.... and in the end, everyone else is competition.


Competition for time, space, resources, etc.


Other people are hinderances to rid one's self of.|||It is not 'in', but 'is', " hell is other people ". Sartre refers here to our inauthentic existence where others/society either becomes a model for us or the society imposes values on us. In both the case we loose our sense of being ourselves,our own identity and may live others life,others prescription and hence,it is hell!
