I was thinking about relationships between Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir and this kind of the dynamic between an intellectual couple of a certain era.

Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir were wowed by him when they finally met in Rome in 1961.

The situation evokes both Jean-Paul Sartre’s “No Exit,” where hell is defined as other people, and a perkier than usual episode of “The Twilight Zone.”

This matters, because the trolling tactics that Sartre identified nearly eight decades ago only have power if people give in to them.

“I feel like I’m in a surreal movie, like Sartre’s ‘No Exit,’” the princess said on the street, interrupted repeatedly by a barking fluffy white dog in her arms and three others at her ankles.
