Anyway, the quotation itself is a bit loaded so I'll try to unpack it with brevity. It's a line spoken in his play &quot;Huis Clos&quot; (which is a legal term meaning in private, though the title is usually translated as &quot;No Exit&quot;).

Therefore the line is sort of reflective of their condition, and thematically a reflection of Sartre's philosophy of &quot;The Look&quot; outlined in his other book &quot;L'Être et Le Néant : Essai D'ontologie Phénoménologique&quot;, which explained in a really reductive manner is sort of how our self image is
