Jane Eyre-Red room English essay

... Jane Eyre-Red room English essay The red room is described as a spare chamber, 'very seldom'-never slept in, a large and stately chamber. There is a bed supported by 'massive' pillars of mahogany hung with curtains of 'deep red damask' stood 'like a tabernacle' in the centre. There are two ''large' windows- blinds always down, 'shrouded with festoons' and the carpet is 'red' also. There is a table at the foot of the bed covered with 'crimson' cloth. The walls are a 'soft fawn' colour (soft creamy green) with a 'blush of pink'. The wardrobe, toilet-table and chairs are all- 'darkly polished old mahogany'. The mattresses and pillows of the bed are 'glared white' and 'piled up' spread with a 'snowy Marseilles counterpane'.
