ESSAY ON: Jean Paul Sartre’s “The Wall”

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This 5 page report discusses Jean Paul Sartre’s short story, “The Wall,” which takes place during the 1930s in the era of the Spanish Civil War. Three men are arrested, placed on trial, and sentenced to death for rather nebulous political reasons. The authorities are prepared to execute people for little or no reason whatsoever, and this lack of causality -- so predominant in existentialism -- is a favorite theme of Sartre’s. “The Wall” serves as an excellent example of existential writing in that we are what we are, what happens, happens, and what you see is what you get. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
