Analysis of No Exit; how
the characters died
Inez prefers to choose her own Hell, to look Garcin in the
face and fight it out with him. Garcin announces that they should tell the
truth about their lives: Maybe this will save them from disaster. Garcin
mistreated his wife and eventually slept with another woman in his own house.
Inez was living with her cousin, who was married to Florence. When the man got
on their nerves, the women moved out and lived together. He was killed, and in
despair, Florence turned the gas oven on one night, killing both Inez and
herself. Inez had made Florence see things through her eyes, and this
bitterness was too much for her. Hence, the suicide/murder; Inez is in Hell for
her cruelty. Estelle had an affair with a man and became pregnant; she went to
Switzerland for five months and gave birth to a daughter. Her lover, Roger,
wanted the child, but Estelle didn't, so she drowned the child; later, she died
of pneumonia. Roger shot himself in the head.
Garcin
wonders if Estelle thinks that he was a coward for being a pacifist during the
war. He wonders if he fled ("bolted" toward Mexico) because he was
against war or because he was afraid. He decided, after he was caught, that his
death would finally settle the matter, but then he admits that he faced even
that moment rather badly. Again, Garcin hears his former colleagues at the
newspaper talking about him: Even "the others" from his lifetime are
a torture to him, and he cannot intervene in their conversations to defend
himself. Additionally, he is not comforted by the idea that these men will
eventually die because other men will replace them and perpetuate the belief that Garcin was a coward. His fate is in
their hands. Can Estelle love him? Estelle says that she can love him, but only
for his body: He has a manly chin,
mouth, voice, and head of hair. He does not look like a coward. This overjoys
him, and he prepares to leave Hell with her until they hear a shrill laugh: It
is Inez, who prevents them from escaping. Garcin tries to leave through the
door: He is ready to put up with red-hot tongs and molten lead — whatever
torture "they" wish to subject him to, but he must leave this agony of
mind. The door opens, and he is surprised; in fact, he is so stunned that
he decides not to pass through it. Estelle tries pushing Inez through the door
so she can have Garcin to herself, but he tells her to desist, that it's because of Inez that he is staying in
the room. This catches Inez off-guard; he says that Inez knows what it's like to be a coward. He no longer hears the voices
of people on earth, and he realizes that Inez is the same kind of person as he:
It is she whom he must convince that
he is not a coward. Estelle does not count: She is interested only in exterior
appearances. He says to Inez: "If you'll have faith in me I'm saved."
He spent his life trying to be a man, and Inez suggests that it was only a
dream. He retorts that he made his choice deliberately, and that a man is what
he wills himself to be. Inez enjoys her status as Garcin's torturer, and she taunts
him with her evaluation of him as a coward.
