Talk:No Exit

message: Any reason why Inèz is consistently used in this article instead of Inès? Just wondering if it should be changed.

message: I'm not sure what that line means.  Do you mean she turned a husband's opinion against his wife?
Also, there are some POV issues (and a typo) in calling one character "false and vaccuous," though I'm at a loss for what to use in substitution.  I haven't read the play.  It might be better to describe what the woman has done and let the reader decide if s/he considers the woman false and vacuous.  Koyaanis Qatsi 23:53, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)

thread_title:  Analysis/NPOV 

message: The link at the foot of the article that reads "The latest adaptation movie" is not actually relevant to the article.  Asside from the fact that the movie in question has the same title as the one with which theis article conserns itself, there seems to be nothing else in common: the movie is about crystal meth in the gay community!  I don't see a link.  If someone else could clarify why this link is there...--Dark Green 21:31, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Rude comments notwithstanding, if you don't like the article, fix it. The fact that you don't like policy doesn't change the fact that it is policy. Unsubstantiated musings, analysis, or rambling are not appropriate for this article. If you want to find some real literary analysis and add it properly to the article, feel free. --Cheeser1 (talk) 12:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

message: There is an infobox for the 1962 film - perhaps it should be split into its own article at No Exit (1962 film)? - AKeen 15:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see no reason to do so. Having one article for something with several forms is standard. See Alice in Wonderland, for example. It only needs to be split if it becomes excessive (e.g. Batman). --Cheeser1 09:12, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This is a great example of Wikipedia at its best --- in my opinion.
Several years ago I struggled for a while with deciding on the best translation of the title, finally concluding that, because of the above-mentioned highly idiomatic nature of the phrase "huis clos," there is no one correct answer. Personally I like "Behind closed doors," but I have to admit that "No Exit" brings some drama and immediacy to the English title. To apply another (English) idiom, "No Exit" has more punch.

thread_title:  Excellent article! 

message: I've changed the line 
:"Estelle is a high-society woman, a blonde who married her husband for his money and cuckolded him with a younger man" 
to 
:"Estelle is a high-society woman, a blonde who married her husband for his money and had an affair with a younger man"
Unless there is a particular reason the word cuckolded absolutely had to be included, it's entirely unnecessary. It doesn't exist in common vernacular and it lacks poetry. 203.219.225.83 (talk) 12:40, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Capitalization of Autres (Others) 

message: Many reviews of THE GOOD PLACE have remarked on the resemblance to NO EXIT:  the souls of four dead people being tormented (psychologically, not physically)  without realizing that they are in hell.   Should it be added under adaptations?   2601:C2:201:2B85:DCBC:8F3C:D2C9:212 (talk) 04:56, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Good Place? 

message: When the issue of the Valet having no eyelids prompts Garcin to reflect upon the atrophied condition of his own eyelids, he muses sadly that there will be no more "little sleeps" in this eternity, no break or respite from the unbroken continuity of consciousness. Indeed, how can there be a break in eternal suffering?
A logical extension of this same theme, is the entire play runs in one act, without interval. In the BBC2 television production Vicious Circle (1985), the BBC's licence fee-funded public service remit allows the entire drama to play out without commercial breaks; the TV-age equivalent of a theatrical interval.

thread_title:  One Act = Atrophied Eyelids 

message: The names of two of the characters —Inèz and Garcin— are used and spelled extremely inconsistently in this article. Garcin, never referred to by his first name "Joseph" in the play, is repeatedly called Joseph. Inèz is also spelled in various sections of the article as "Inès," "Ines," and "Inez." I've edited the article to fix these issues of inconsistency, in accordance with the play (or, at least, the Vintage International version of it).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaguzi (talk • contribs) 20:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inconsistent naming of characters 

message: The 1961 episode of the Twilight Zone "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" was, among other things, noted to be greatly inspired by No Exit. In the same vein as the reference to The Good Place being inspired by the play, is there a good way to include a mention about this on this article? I ask especially as this is stated on the article for the Twilight Zone episode already.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josapr (talk • contribs) 05:27, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
