No Exit Summary (Step 1 & 2)

SUMMARY
-A scene from a drawing room with Second-Empire furniture
-3 couches reside inside as well as a bronze mantlepiece
-A man walks inside (Garcin) along with a valet
-Garcin questions the valet about the room, the rules of the place, and what was beyond the walls
-The valet leaves and immediately brings in another person, a woman by the name of Inez
-Inez is "tortured" when she sees that it is Garcin inside the room and not the woman she wanted (she's a lesbo)
-Inez and Garcin have tension right away, Inez has no interest in Garcin
-The valet brings yet another, Estelle
-Inez takes immediate interest in Estelle while Estelle takes immediate interest in Garcin
-Estelle is all about fashion, wanting everyone to notice her looks
-They begin to figure out that the three of them are in Hell
-The three of them reveal a little about their past life
-Garcin was a journalist in Rio that got shot for his ideas
-Inez was a postal worker
-Estelle was a poor girl who married a wealthy man and died of pneumonia
-After scenes back on Earth are shown, their real stories come out
-Garcin was an man-whore
-Estelle had an affair
-Inez lived with her cousin and his wife and ran away with the wife
-After this is revealed, they understand why they were put together
-Garcin tortures Inez, as she wants him to love her.  Estelle tortures Inez, as she wants to be with her.  And Inez tortures Garcin, as he wants Inez's approval
-The three don't know what to do, since sleep and nighttime don't exist in Hell, so they collapse onto the couches and stay on them for eternity.

QUESTIONS
1. Hell can be anywhere, anything, any time period for that matter.  My hell would be a white space, no walls, no ceiling, no nothing, extending indefinitely.  All I know is that hell would be horrible.
2.Ravenous sex?  ummmm....  yeah... Hell can be described as not enough of anything...
3.A teen's daily habits are almost hell as it stands.  Almost anyone can relate to having something seem like hell
