Now I see...

Whats the big deal about rooms anyway?

I hate to say it...but I do think our "rooms" are a big part of us.

If I may say, they even go as far as to define us.

How often do you find yourself just wanting to go back to your room? When you're having a bad day, don't you just want to go to your room and lay in your bed? Our rooms are part of us. They are just a tiny peek into our lives.

Does this explain why so we've read so much about rooms?

I don't know if it explains why we've read so much about rooms, but it does help make sense of why so many authors find themselves writing about rooms. Describing a character's room can help to describe the character himself.

Charlotte Gilman's sickness is seen most vividly when she is in the room on the top floor of the house with the yellow wallpaper. Is it possible that the room contributes to her sickness? Gilman quite possibly reaches insanity after a few weeks in that room.

Woolf argues that women need a room to write. It is quite possible that women feel they have no writer identity without a room of their own. They have no place to go to be themselves. Their writing does not have a place because these aspiring women authors have no place. Rooms help us to know who we are. Our rooms are where we can be who we really are. Women had no rooms, therefore had no writing.

I better see now how important rooms are. Let's stop thinking from merely they author's viewpoint and relate the main idea to our own lives. I mean, come on, I would die without my room. My room is my comfort zone. I need my room.
