A Room with a View

Style and Technique

E. M. Forster's «A Room with a View» is written in the style of Edwardian prose, characterized by attention to detail and subtle psychological insight. The language of the novel is elegant and refined, using irony and satire to critique social norms and class prejudice. Forster skillfully employs dialogue to reveal character and inner conflict. Literary devices include symbolism and contrasts, such as the opposition of freedom and restriction, nature and civilization. The structure of the novel is linear, with clear plot development and a gradual unfolding of themes of love, self-discovery, and social criticism. Forster also uses landscape as a metaphor for the characters' inner worlds, giving the work depth and complexity.
