Recap...
I believe that some of those entries that we are supposed to do are because of the fact that some plays are very difficult or those stories are pretty complex and long ... but in my play, there is no need to have Task number 4 (already covered those issue)... so I will just recap some information.


"Story":
As we know from previous entries this play No Exit is a one-act play for 4 actors where everything happens in just 1 room. The play begins when Valet enters the room  (hell, hell is described as a series of "rooms and passages"). There are no windows or mirrors and just 1 door that is all the time locked. After a while Garcin is joined by Inez and after that by another woman Estelle. After they are all in this room (hell) Valet leaves them there, leaves and locks the door. Soon they all realize that they are all in hell, for this reason they expect to be tortured, but when no torturer appears they start to think that this is not how it works in hell. The real torture is the fact that they are left to "torture" each other by examining their sins, lusts or bad memories. This means it is hell where demons and devils are other people like you. Another small story or things that happen in this play is that in the beginning those 3 characters are seeing events that are happening on Earth, but eventually they are left in this hell with only their own thoughts and their torturers - other sinners. In the end of the play Garcin wants to be let out. When he says so the door opens. However, nobody left the room. Why? There are more aspects that influence this situation: fear of the unknown or Garcin's desire to hear that he is not a coward from Inez.


What do you expect to happen next? Nothing because that is the whole story...


How do the character interactions help move the play forward? See the blog entry no.2.
