Differents in Rooms

As you all know, we have reading a lot about rooms. But so far we have only heard one concept of room. Both Dillard and Woolf used the idea of a room to escape for the commotion and be able to write. Gilman, in The Yellow Wallpaper, takes a completely different approach. She describes the room she has been forced to live in with "the windows are barred for children." I interpreted this to mean that she feels trapped while writing in a room of her own. I agree with Gilman that one needs to be outside, not necessarily out in nature but out interacting with other people and one's surroundings. Being in a room of one's own can feel trapping and uninspiring.
