Room with a view: the finale

Having finished a room with a view and having heard all the different experiences from my fellow classmates, supported the idea behind the title of this book. Why? Well because we were able to establish a little bit of a view into people’s lives. How many times do we know people but not really KNOW them? This was in my opinion the essence of this book when it came to Lucy, George and even her ex fiancé. Everyone seemed to know everyone else and their characters, yet at the same time these characters did not seem to know themselves from time to time. That is probably because in life the only thing that remains as a constant is change. Everyone changes as well as everything and as human beings we adapt to these changes loosing a little bit of the view of ourselves in order to gain new perspectives and change some views. This was the case with Lucy, she had to get out of her comfort zone and adapt to the changes that were occurring, she didn’t like those views that went along with such changes so she changed in order to become truer to the self she had evolved into. Thus, because of these views and changes and choices made by her this book falls into a true bildungsroman.
