"No Exit" Active Reading Notes


  • Garcin is overly worried about earthly things that do not matter to him now that he is dead
  • Garcin handles the fact that he is to be tortured through his lack of rest, the lack of a break or moment of darkness unable to close his eyes, sleep, or turn the lights off
  • Inez initially believes garcin to be the man who is to torture her
  • Inez is annoying. I feel as if she will be the cause of many problems throughout the story
  • Estelle is rather positive considering the condition they are in
  • I dont understand why the two girls seem to be rude to Garcin, i believe he is trying to be polite and make it so that he wont be tortured by the company of the others but it only seems to be making things worse
  • Estelle can close her eyes? i thought they weren't allowed a break of any kind, or is that only Garcin
  • yogi- a person proficient in yoga
  • Garcin cheated on his wife while his wife could hear
  • Inez killed her cousin I believe
  • Estelle drowned her new born daughter by tying a rock to it and dropping it into a lake
  • Garcin asked for silence now he wont shut up. he asks too many questions 
  • it never ends.
