    Not sure if you're still checking the comments section 5 years later but this was a great lecture! Helped me understand the wall on a much deeper level :D

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. For whatever reason I really struggle in a traditional academic setting. I lose focus and can't apply myself in a classroom or lecture hall, but I love learning.
    People like you allow me to educate myself and even though I don't get an academic award for doing so, it improves my life.
    For that I thank you!

    You're very welcome! Glad the videos are useful for you -- and there's a term for the sort of education you've got in mind here: "lifelong learning", they typically call it

    You're welcome -- this was one of my first encounters with Sartre, long ago, as an undergrad. Fun to come back to it

      Gregory B. Sadler what is the significance of his laughter at the end of the short story

    Glad you liked the video.
    I don't generally do that sort of paper assistance on my UA-cam video or channels. I'd say that if you read the story closely, you'll see, narrated through some of the characters, what Sartre thinks about patriotism and socialism in the Spanish Civil War.

    Thanks a lot for posting this lecture. This really helped me get a better understanding of this story and much of the meaning behind it. Your reading and analysis is a big help in preparing me to write my literary analysis on The Wall, and I appreciate that very much!

    Thanks a lot for the lecture. This book is my first encounter with Sartre's work and I needed someone to help me understand it deeply.

    In a word, Yes. Sartre articulated public stances on these, and on other post-colonial conflicts, and engaged many other intellectuals about them

    Wellll. . . Not sure I'd agree with that myself. He seems to me a lot like the main character in his novel, The Age of Reason. I thin k if I was an atheist, and I was looking for an existentialist hero, I'd more likely pick Camus, or Sartre's partner, De Beauvoir

    genius piece of work, Greg! Thank you!
    I'm writing an assignment about socialism versus patriotism in Spain and France, and I thought The Wall could provide me with some of Sartre's thought on that subject. Can you help me in finding something helpful in the short story? Something that says something about socialism and political orientation? Thanks a lot. :)

      Probably not. Generally, you don't go to Existentialist authors for cheerfulness
