Style and Technique

In «Dirty Hands», Jean-Paul Sartre employs a dramatic style typical of theatrical plays. The language is rich with philosophical reflections and political debates, reflecting the author's existentialist ideas. Sartre uses dialogues as the primary literary device to reveal the characters' internal conflicts and moral dilemmas. The narrative structure is linear but includes flashbacks that help deepen the understanding of the characters' motivations. The author also uses symbolism to emphasize themes of betrayal, ideology, and personal responsibility.
