If I got this straight, Sartre says that we become fixed in who we are after death. Wouldn't Garcin always remain a coward ? He can't change his choices from his previous life, so even the choice of ever becoming a hero is locked out. I think that is why he can never leave the room even when the door is open. He is just too cowardly. It is just like when Garcin says to stop torturing each other, except they can't stop no matter how hard they try.
