@mushi composed of the objectification of the Self through the subjectivity out external judgement. So essentially, other people inform you of your sense of Self whether you realize it or not, and the play creates a metaphor out of this by removing the mirrors from the room and having the people act as mirrors to each other. However, given that all the characters are only able to compose identity through the others, who are fundamentally broken in some way, they come to have a flawed sense of Self. Hence, "Hell is the Others", which is not at all saying relationships are inherehently damaged but that there is an existential struggle that arises from how we engage with our sense of being.
