Imagine being stuck with the person you love in one room for eternity forever. The catch being, they never love you back. Is that hell for you?
Imagine being stuck with a person whose regard you cherish. The catch being, they will never respect you. Is that hell for you?

According to Garcin, that's worse than fire and torture. Of course, up until the gods decided to give him that choice. This was quite funny.

It's an enjoyable read. Funny, witty, and most of all, it really made me think about the value of our every day actions in our lives.
One always dies too soon- or too late. And yet, one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn under it, ready for the summing up. You are- your life, and nothing else

I LOVED watching the good place so was interested to see what it was based off of but its really not that much beyond a great concept. It got super repetitive and beyond a certain point I was unsure what the point of it even was?? Like we find out the basic message near that start so what was the point of the rest other than some basic bickering between the characters. Maybe it's better to watch it as a play instead of read it so it's less confusing

Oh so thissss is what they based The Good Place on!

ooh, girl. this play really is that bitch.

short, precise, breathtaking. like a punch in the gut. and it's like, i've seen references to this play my whole life, i've seen people discussing it to exhaustion, i've seen the results of other artworks being influenced by this play, so when i began reading it i thought it may sound a little familiar to me, but that didn't happen. even "knowing" this play all my life, reading it is a remarkably innovative and refreshing experience. i also feel like this is the kind of work that demands being experienced firsthand in its original language so get ready duolingo owl because i'm heading back to french yooooooo
