What is the theme of Sartre's abstinence play "Confinement"? Please give a brief answer.

The theme of "Confinement": Others are hell (in fact, they are self-hell).

Related introduction:

Sartre clearly wrote "the hell of others" through the theme of "the hell of others", which actually refers to "the hell of self", hoping to appeal to people not to do evil, to know themselves seriously, and to encourage people to use their own free power as a weapon to break the hell and save themselves, so as to break through the cage of self-soul and open up a new world for the free mind. As an important thought of existentialism, "self-struggle and pursuit of freedom" has been perfectly embodied in Sartre's "confinement"

Extended data

Sartre often pays no attention to the complexity and twists and turns of the plot of his works, but pays attention to analyzing and discussing the spirit and psychology of the protagonist with reason. The famous saying "Others are Hell" by Garcin, the hero of The Confinement, reveals Sartre's summary of despicable interpersonal relationships in society.

Obviously, Sartre's literary creation has a strong philosophical speculative color and occupies a prominent position in his works. Sartre emphasized that the most complex and hidden things in people's minds should be reproduced naked in his works, that is, writing the "authenticity" of the inner world and attaching importance to the most natural expression of personal consciousness and irrational emotions.
