Abstract
Forster’s “A Room with a View” can be regarded as a nuanced exploration of the human psyche. As the author places his personages within unfamiliar environments, we bear witness not only to the imminent character growth of some, but also to their ability to retain, render, and recall past experiences which define their current present. The paper aims at a portrayal of images that present a central element of the novel: to view and be viewed are privileges and phenomena that lead to inevitable personal development for those willing to elicit knowledge from their formative past.
Key words: time, memory, experience, growth, Henri Bergson
