Red Room

- 'Windows were bolted'- Shows Isolation

When windows are generally bolted, it means they are seal tight and shut, so that no body could easily open them. A prison cell for instance has bolted windows in order to prevent criminals from escaping. We can emphasize that the windows within the Waring household are similar to those of a prison cell. Prison's are a place where criminals are sent, far away from society. Prisoners are kept in rooms, isolated from each other, so that they can repent for what they have done. In this similar case, the red room is keeping Kingshaw from escaping with the bolted windows and locked doors. Hooper is keeping Kingshaw as his prisoner for this time, for Kingshaw to regret entering his territory. Hooper is punishing Kingshaw for what he has done, by locking him a room and keeping him isolated, just like what a prison does.

 

Fear

- As Kingshaw was locked in the red room by Hooper, he tries his best to stand up for himself, by keeping quiet and not calling out for assistance. In the end however he Breaks down. The phrase ' But in the end, he let go and began to cry with frustration' shows us that Kingshaw has accepted defeat. Him 'breaking down' would show the audience the fear and isolation the red room generates, since its full of dead moths and old books where none has been touched for years now, meaning it would be very unlikely that anybody would come to his rescue.
