About this episode
This lecture discusses the French Existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre's play, No Exit, and focuses on the third of the main characters within the drama, Estelle Rigaut, who is a younger woman originally from the lower classes who married her way into upper class society, and who seems to be attracted to Garcin, when in reality she depends on men for maintaining her self-image. It turns out that she cheated on her husband, and killed the baby who resulted from that affair, which then led her lover to kill himself To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO You can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit - https://amzn.to/3Lv5uU6
