to whomever gives me the best response and +70 points : ) responding to: "the red room" 1. what is one of the themes of this piece? describe and give at least two examples of evidence of this theme. 2. how well do you think the author conveyed this theme? explain, using support from the reading. 3. why is the narrator in a state of "considerable nervous tension" after he surveys the room? 4. what does the man with shaded eyes mean when he says he knew that it was "a power of darkness" that was haunting the room?

1.One of the themes in the Red Room is the theme of fear. You can see this theme through the entire story because of the tone of the story and how the characters react to the red room. The tone is full of fear and danger because the characters do not want to enter the red room for fear that it is haunted.

2. I think the author is able to show the theme of fear very well because the author is able to create a tone that is fearful and full of danger.  The author also creates this theme very well by how narrator of the story becomes terrified after he boasts about how he isn't afraid of the red room.

3. I believe the narrator was nervous because of what he saw and heard.

4. The man meant that there was more to the room then just darkness and that the room was haunted.

Hope that helps you
