Sartre’s Concrete Relations with Others section is modeled on Beauvoir’s novel

Evidence

Explicitly taking up a discussion of the Hegelian epigraph to Beauvoir’s novel, he declares: “What I want to attain symbolically by pursuing the death of a particular Other is the general principle of the existence of others.” His implicit reading of Beauvoir’s text includes an analysis of the failure of the love project and the transformation of this project into sadism and masochism. He concludes that to hate one Other is to hate all others; a reading that potentially distorts the place Beauvoir accords to reciprocal relationships in She Came to Stay. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 250
