Title

Incarceration and Freedom in Emma Donoghue's "Room"

Abstract

The 21st century places a great emphasis on the liberation of individuals, particularly women, and children, from oppressive forces like patriarchy. Emma Donoghue's novel, Room, showcases the increasing difficulty of achieving freedom as the characters Jack and Ma are forced into ever-shrinking living spaces. This confinement highlights the value of fresh air and makes both the characters and readers more appreciative of its importance. The article titled "Confinement and Freedom in Emma Donoghue's Room" aims to analyze the impact of contrasting perspectives on the characters of Jack and his mother, who have different desires for freedom and confinement. Jack, the narrator of the story, sees the room as his world and values the safety it provides, while his mother longs to experience the freedom of the outside world. Despite their captivity, Room is not a horror story, but rather a celebration of the resilience and love between a parent and child. For Jack, the objects in Room are his companions, and he is completely unaware of the world outside. The novel highlights the changes that take place when Jack enters the outside world. If the story was told from the mother's perspective, it would likely be a darker and more complex tale, with a victim's narrative. The room is a living hell for the mother, but for Jack, it is a paradise. The mother grieves over her isolation from the outside world, while Jack celebrates it, reflecting modernist and postmodernist perspectives, respectively
