Since they have all recently died, they must confront the existence of their consciousness as their physical bodies are buried on earth.

Sartre wrote that the responsibility for one's freedom was so overwhelming that we are "condemned to be free," a statement literally played out by Garcin's inability to leave the room. Unable to exist without people judging his past, Garcin condemns himself to remain in the room.
