The Room- Discussion with Chaz

Nine years after her husband was accused of murdering a girl he was secretly seeing, Katherine starts an affair of her own.Here we have a story about mainly two people that started out madly in love. The plot thickens as we learn of a a murder that Katherine's husband is invoved with. Katherine comes to two realizations. The first was does she really love her husband. The second, what Was this idea of deception? As she says, she was merely curious about deception. And now she knows "what it had felt like for Phair." As the bland affair drags on, it seems she's more drawn to this man's room than to him. The details of the room have books, boxes, open suitcases, word processor that had not been plugged in, its cables trailing on the floor, clothes hanging on the back of a door.There was a giant anatomical study of an elephant on the wall, with "arrows indicating where certain organs were beneath the leathery skin." Her id personality is controlling the decepton side took over as she impulsively had an affair. Her superego kept her grounded to her husband realizing she still loved him. In the end she settled with the superego. This story was rich with symbolisms and Archetype characters. Very complex Set of emotions coming from Katherine. In the end she decides that she is going to stay with her husband.
