At the end of No Exit it is implied that the three go on to have the same, painful arguments for an eternity. In this process, I'm assuming, they drive each other crazy with the constant fighting over their dooming mistakes, driving each other crazy in the process.
Don't you think they would ever stop? I feel like if you were to talk about the same collection of things forever, eventually you might become apathetic. Or would it be just the opposite? In talking about the same things forever, would you become so dead-set on your ideas that you would stop at nothing to convert the others to your ideas?
Maybe the latter is part of the reason this group of people is in hell. I think part of their punishment might be that they are forever subject to their own stubbornness, a character flaw that led them all, in one way or another, to commit terrible wrongdoings when they had a choice to do right.
