1•The Furnished Room is an example of how a masterful sketch of the setting can impact the nature of the story. In this regard, the room that the man rents is laden with sociological and psychological significance. On an individual level, the dark, inner room represents the repressed part one’s psyche that the supposedly civilized city-norms bind within an individual. The room is an arena where this repression finds its release. It is, as it were, a region where the Jungian Shadow Side of one’s personality finds its expression. This is reflected in the imagery of violence, brutality and lust that is used to describe the room.
3•The city-setting is presented as a place of restless movement, where transient humans with no permanent homes flit from one room to another. This rootless nature of people that the city cultivates is brought out by the use of plant imagery in the very first paragraph of the story where the man-made red-bricked district’s artificiality is contrasted with the lack of all that is natural and wholesome
