Estelle, infuriated by her treatment of Garcin, tries to kill Inès, stabbing her repeatedly. As they are all already dead, this attack does nothing - bemused, Inès even stabs herself. Shocked at the absurdity of his fate, Garcin concludes, "hell is other people" - not torture devices or physical punishment, but the torment of those he can't escape. The play ends with the three joining in prolonged laughter before resigning themselves to spending the rest of eternity together.

He says that he will not be saved until Inès has faith in him. She refuses, saying it's obvious he's a coward, and promising to make him miserable forever.

After trying to open the door repeatedly, it suddenly opens wildly, but he is unable to leave.

This causes Garcin to attempt an escape.

While she complies, Inès tells him that Estelle is just agreeing with him so she can be with a man.

Garcin begs Estelle to tell him he is not a coward for attempting to flee his country during wartime.

Despite their revelations they continue to get on each other's nerves. Garcin finally gives in to Estelle's attempts to seduce him, which drives Inès crazy.

Garcin cheated and mistreated his wife; Inès seduced her cousin's wife while living with them; and Estelle had an affair and then killed the resulting child.

Garcin suggests that they try to leave each other alone, but Inès starts to sing about an execution and Estelle wants to find a mirror.

Inès refuses to believe that they all ended up in the room by accident and soon realizes that they have been placed together to make each other miserable.

None of them will admit the reason for their damnation: Garcin says that he was executed for being a pacifist, while Estelle insists that a mistake has been made.

They had all expected medieval torture devices to punish them for eternity, but instead find a plain room.

Three damned souls, Garcin, Inès, and Estelle are brought to the same room in hell by a mysterious Valet.

It's my POTTY!

[And I'll cry if I want TO!]

This is what my soul looks like.

I feel like this portrait is of a man named Ed. I can't say why.

In memoriam.
