Jean-Paul Sartre got it right in his play ‘No Exit’ (1944), which still explains modern-day hell.

Hell Is Other People — And We Live It Every Day

Have you ever buckled under the look of someone, feeling judged and wanting to disappear?

In his play, ‘No Exit’ (1944), the Existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre shows what happens when three characters in his play — Garcin, Estelle and Inez — are locked together in one room, unable to escape. They lose their identity and the image they’ve been holding onto of themselves. This is when Garcin realises that “Hell is other people”.

If you’ve ever been trapped by the ‘look’ of others in modern-day workplaces, families and even online, this play, ‘No Exit’, explains why we feel judged under the ‘look’ of others and how we are very different when alone.
