HUIS-CLOS (1954) dir. Jacqueline Audry A diverse group of people find themselves sharing a spacious, ornately decorated hotel room. It soon dawns on each of them that this is Hell and they must spend the rest of eternity in each other's company. On a screen, they see how their deaths have affected those they have left behind: Believing he has betrayed them, Garcin's former political conspirators are quick to forget their association with him; Inès's lover is seen returning to her husband; the man whom Estelle believed to be devoted to her has an affair with another woman minutes after her funeral! All three are adamant of having done nothing to justify going to Hell, but as they become better acquainted with each other the truth emerges. Based on Jean-Paul Sartre's stage play. (link in title)

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire seems to me to be lovechild of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dracula, and No Exit.

Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, because Louis is primarily drawn to vampirism as it awakens the senses and reveals the rich hidden beauty of the world. Louis observes life with an impressionist painter’s eyes and is on a quest to contextualize the beauty of humanity around him, that which he can’t himself partake in. Like Dorian, he’s immortal and invincible, but he has paid for this infinity of living with his soul and his humanity. Borne of evil himself, he can only behold goodness and beauty by gazing at the canvas. Also, gay.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula, because the novel pays homage to 19th-century Gothic literature. This time, the vampiric monster is the protagonist, the Byron, the anti-hero, the person we’re forced to sympathize with. The novel answers questions Jonathan Harker never bothers to ask: Where did Dracula come from? What does he feel? What does he want? What is human within him? Rice’s novel further enriches the vampirical canon by situating Louis, who believes himself to be a child of the devil, as the moral heart of the story. We are left wondering how much of Dracula, Stoker’s villain, had remained human upon his death.

Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit, because the characters are living an undead existence of angoisse and our vampires can’t handle their infinite, solitary existence without companionship. Their loneliness is hell, but we learn through the dynamic between Louis, Lestat, and Claudia that “hell is other people” also. Louis is grappling with the existentialist question of how to give his life meaning, trying to discover the essence of himself and vampirism, struggling to take action and evade cowardice. The Sartrian idea that existence is inherently meaningless and vampires are cursed with the burden of endless consciousness is the hell Louis can’t bear.

#another point is that iwtv humanizes the monster which is exactly what 19th century horror readers didn’t care for lol #rice preys on our morbid fascination with the grotesque by making the monster the protagonist and then she says HAH HE’S A SOFTBOI #when louis burns down the theatre that’s when he learns l’existence précede l’essence #he learns that vampirism has no essence and that only actions can give life meaning and create outcomes #and well his wandering of the globe in search of beauty while fighting with the evil of vampirism deep within? #the most dorian-coded thing ever #iwtv #interview with the vampire #lestat de lioncourt #anne rice #claudia de lioncourt #dracula #bram stoker #tpodg #oscar wilde #dorian gray #jean paul sartre #no exit #huis clos #existentialism #gothic lit #english lit #vampires #spooktober #halloween #iwtv meta #spooky season #book blog

“Puisqu’il faut souffrir, autant que ce soit par toi. Assieds-toi. Approche-toi. Encore. Regarde dans mes yeux : est-ce que tu t’y vois ?” - Jean-Paul Sartre, Huis clos "Much more likely you'll hurt me. Still, what does it matter? If I've got to suffer, it may as well be at your hands, your pretty hands. Sit down. Come closer. Closer. Look into my eyes. What do you see?" - Jean-Paul Sartre (translated), No Exit

Whats classic books you find underrated?

Oh, another question I love! This one is a little bit harder because most classics books (especially by white English-speaking writers) get their clout and more. But still, there's some books that I wish would get more mainstream hype.

Beloved by Toni Morrison. I know she's extremely popular in the US and that she has a whole-ass Nobel Prize. She's one of the greats! But I still want to hear this book in people's mouths more when we discuss the most exceptional modern classics.

No Exit by Jean-Paul Satre. Really encapsulates everything pertinent about existential thought. Gave us The Good Place. "Hell is other people". Amazing.

A House For Mr. Biswas by VS Naipaul. Appreciated in nicher circles, I guess, but I'd love to see a Trinidadian author (yes, I know he was like, evil, but still) get more flowers on a mainstream level.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë. Stop leaving my girlie out of the Brontë conversations, please and thanks!

A Separate Peace by John Knowles. Is this the original dark academia bildungsroman? Donna Tartt what are you doing on the floor?! Anyway, I feel sorry for people who didn't read this as a kid or adolescent.

[ID: 3 screenshots of quotes. They each read as follows:

1: “Each morning I wake up a little crueler. Each morning my heart is / a vulture beating its wings for scraps.”

2: “Inez: “I’ll tell you later. When I say I’m cruel, I mean I can’t get on without making people suffer. Like a live coal. A live coal in others’ hearts. When I’m alone I flicker out. For six months I flamed away in her heart, til there was nothing but a cinder. One night she got up and turned on the gas while I was asleep. Then she crept back into bed. So now you now.” / Garcin: “Well! Well!” / Inez: “What’s on your mind?” / Garcin: “Nothing. Only that it’s not a pretty story.””

3: “I wish I was only as cruel as the first time I noticed I was cruel, waving my tiny shadow over a pond to scare the copper minnows.”

Sartre’ın gizli oturum tiyatro oyunu. birbirini tanımayan üç kişi, (estelle, ınes ve garcin) öldükten sonra cehenneme gitmeyi beklerken, cehennem diye bir odaya kapatılmaları anlatılıyor.

bilmedikleri şey ise başkaları cehennemdir.
