Jane’s experiences within the red room is described in only her point of view giving the reader a realistic image into how Jane’s fear of the red room allow the reader access into how she portrays the room with the use of metaphors and symbolism.

The colour red often is used to symbolise anger, passion and often blood. This can be linked back to the beginning of the novel in which she is unjustly imprisoned in the room after being violently attacked by her cousin.

The blood can be interpreted as both her becoming a woman and also the boiling of her blood in anger.Jane’s experiences within the red room is described in only her point of view giving the reader a realistic image into how Jane’s fear of the red room allow the reader access into how she portrays the room with the use of metaphors and symbolism.
