I absolutely HATE not getting enough sleep. I am cranky and take out my anger on everyone else around me. Then I also get lots of anxiety because I don't function as well as I should. Honestly, sometimes when I don't get enough sleep I have a mini-breakdown later on in the day which ends in tears, stress, and frustration. The thought of being bored forever is also awful. I'm a super active, involved person and I don't think I could truly deal with having annoying people stuck in a plain room with me for all of eternity. It *almost* makes a tortuous, fire-filled hell seem more appealing.

I don't think they are capable of feeling tired any longer. Even so, do not have any breaks in time would be absolute torture. Without separating everyday by nighttime, you can't think of time as days or weeks- all of time runs together in an unbearable infinity that drags on without anything to look forward to. That to me would be the ultimate hell and would definitely be the first thing to drive me crazy.Cheyenne Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389666693162751830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-47627136605526819962015-10-31T14:29:57.040-05:002015-10-31T14:29:57.040-05:00In a way all of the little annoying things add up ...In a way all of the little annoying things add up to be worse than Dante's hell. They are bothered by the feeling of lack of sleep, as well as the increasing heat (which they often complained of). They also are bothered by each other. In Dante's hell the punishment was so bad that I am sure that is all those being punished could think about.The punishment was their distraction as well. In the play, on the other hand, their punishments are minor, and always nagging them, but they have no distraction from that pain and their situation. Even when they try to create their own distractions it doesn't work out, which is why I think that in Sartre's hell part of the punishment is that there is no distraction.

They're still trapped for an eternity with no escaping. I think it's also interesting that no matter how many times any of them ring the bell, the valet will never return. He provides them with a false sense of security when he first brings them to the room, telling them to simply ring the bell if they need anything. This is the first of many lies that hell offers. The three characters try to ring the bell many times in order to escape. We could say that, in a sense, the valet betrays them just like they betrayed so many people back down on earth. This may be a form of karma. In some ways this hell seems even worse than Dante's. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841998223380983246noreply@blogger.com
